Here is the other version often found from British Guyana. This example is from the Horniman collection London UK. It is a different timber and has recorded origin, but I would not say all dark wood pieces are old . I would like to point out the dimensions, as the dark wood has can have an unqualified appeal, like the darkening of African masks for early 20thcentury collectors. This example is 63.5cm long and 10.5cm at the head and 2.8cm thick which makes it somewhat lighter the the example I am waiting for.
