    Appears to be painted wood carving, 5.5" high x 4.5" long x 2.5" wide. A $.99 thrift shop find today. Guessing it depicts a wedding couple? The most similar bride costume I could find was Korean. Three dots on face, shoulder piece, etc.... I found one similar Korean groom costume on the page below. The cap on this carving was covered by something similar American Pilgrim's hat.

    There is what may be the carver's mark visible under two partial tags or labels on the bottom.

    Will try for better images later.
