Thank you ~Alaung_Hpaya~, VVV and PUFF for the information

The holes (in the hands) are in line so it seems the figure has lost his staff.
At least that will be easier to replace than two Dha's.

Hi Ian, I have never seen this type of figures before...and I have searched the web in vain for similar examples. To me it is very unlikely that these are 'mass produced'....due to size and the 'subject' matter. I am wondering whether these originally adorned a Krabi Krabong 'school'

I have started to buy ethnic/tribal items to 'compliment' my weapon display, although I have no weapons to 'compliment' these figures

I recently bought an Ashanti brass cast box with symbolic decoration, which, I would like to post. The relavence to weaponary would the symbolism associated with Ashanti knives and swords, would it be OK to do so.

Regards David
