Maybe i am to crazy about my keris hobby.....and imagening things.
This weekend brought this from a flee-market to my home.
The statue is about 40 cm high, made of very heavy wood. I think not very old, but can have some age. The brown paint from the body is almost gone.
I gave this fellow the task to hold one of my kerises.....but,

Although it looks like a keris bearer, maybe he had another occupation. The face seems more Chinese to me, a fisherman or.....
any idea ???
