    Skull - carved in a quite naive style from a block of solid mahogany, 9" tall, unsigned, mounted on what looks to be a salvaged trophy base. I bought this at a swap meet a dozen or so years ago with no history or explanation offered.

    Hand is also mahogany, carved in The Philippines, but not originally associated with the skull.

    Happy October!
