Thank you Robert. When I got it, it was in somewhat rough shape.

What the inlay symbolizes? Not sure - perhaps a centipede?

Hello Jose, I thought that it might be a centipede at first as well, but then I thought that they might include legs on it if it were. Perhaps it is some kind of aquatic beastie???

I also thought of a crocodile, but usually the long tail is a major component.

Will have to do more research to see what other critters this could be.

What a beautiful piece by your pictures and a little bit maintenance now, much better like by the ebay pictures. I was stupid that I don't have given a higher offer before. But it is in good hands now so my sadness is of little account.

Regards,
Detlef
