Hello Karen

It seems that this is made for tourists.

See for example the fingers of the left hand. Have been filed straight.

It is certainly not ebony, but a light type of wood that has been made brown with a dye and filler. Look closely at the bottom. This is not straightforward.

I also bought wood carvings in Africa years ago and I recognize the process.

Warm regards from Wim

Thanks for the information! By any chance, do you also know how I can find out the value of the statue for free? Is there a site that specializes in this?

Thank you, Karen
