Wood Carved Sea Lion
Made in Bali, Indonesia it was skillfully carved from a "wood rose," a mushroom-like parasitic formation created by a mistletoe plant growing on a chinaberry tree.
These type of carvings were popular about 10 years ago. You don't see them very much anymore. But they do come up once in awhile.
This one I bought for my collection, but decided to give it to my sister who had just acquired a similar piece.
I had several of these mostly monkeys I just gave to my daughter :-) I love them !
I have a creepy face that I love and posted awhile back...

My sister had just picked up a piece recently there was an iguana. She thought it was so cool so I decided to give this piece to her.
