Perhaps the animal and the wrap were added at a later date.

the piece is definatly a made up piece, but well done. I like the embelishments that they added. consider it folk art. I dought that in its final form it was anything but designed for tourist. But so what there is a place as collectables for this.

My gut feeling told me that it was a made up piece. The hollow tube, the welding of the composite parts. I still went for it. It goes thru heavy cardboard with ease....next victim a watermelon
