Half a coconut shell, convict labor, 19th / 20th century, originally from Guyana. Motif: bust of a Guyanese woman or a keepsake of a beloved person!!!!!! Surrounded by a very beautiful floral decoration. The 2 holes for hanging seem to represent 2 eyes, a sun-shaped crown, and a nose.

Note: a small 2 cm crack on one side needs to be glued. Otherwise, in very good condition. For international shipping, please contact me for the costs.
