We call this artifact "The Thinker" for obvious reasons.

My wife and I are into African artifacts. We just recently found this one. I really havent verified that it is African, but I thought it was very unique.

We found it at the flea market, where people sometimes sell very unusual items that have value, for cheap.

We have a very large collection. From dealers and good luck at our flea market. In San Jose the flea market claims to be the countries largest, Its gigantic!

We bought this for $10, they wanted $20. But my bargaining skills got us a 50% break! Hehe! I bet its worth a lot more. It has great craftsmanship.

I dont know why, but I think of RICKAMAVEN when I look at this. I think of him sitting on the throne plotting his latest post to jerk us around! Hehehe! (Rick thats a wierd kind of complement)

Do any of you collect antiques or artifacts also? Its a great pass time.
