Default Modern

The Mystery continues Fearn, modern comes with many different ideas too.
WWII is by my standards considered modern history, the period I feel this comes from. Modern by others standard differ greatly I am sure.

Casting out a total speculation theory, which is half the fun of this unknown stuff, with regards to the design, if indeed from the Solomon regions, the Japanese and allied forces were ever present and painting and design elements such at this were seen on allied aircraft and no doubt other vehicles etc etc.
Perhaps this is an influence from being exposed to these things...perhaps seeing a gun at work for the first time and not knowning that they do not shoot arrows, this was carved with intent to protect from the lightning fast arrows these weapons shot....just thinking outside of the square...

Fearn, where do you think this is from and where do you think it dates?
