Thanks Kevin and Geno! I like them a whole lot more after reading the History! They really are very well carved and made!! I do not know what the names on the sticks mean? Maybe the carver? or?
These are beautiful. I have a set as well, from Indonesia. Mine does not have the painted face.
Thank you!
