just wondering. my mom bought it from some antique shop here in Seoul. it's made of a single piece of wood. and it looks a bit beaten up. I'd give it at least 10 years or more. They paid about 10 bucks for it. we were just wondering the other day where it was from (she forgot to ask the shop keeper). i said it looked like it was thai or malaysian, certainly not korean. thoughts? know of any antique forums where i could ask this, or have any friends that you could ask? thanks E~

Very cool looking piece. Lots of detail. Sadly though.... I can be of no help.

By the head gear, I'd venture it might be old dynasty chinese, he appears to be holding something on each side, can't tell what. Are there any markings or characters on it anywhere, that would help place it......

At this moment if they are still young,they could raange form 17 dollars to 395.00. Need to see a bit better image,with perhaps a bit less glare. This one is going for Price: 29.99 which I'm not sure how much exchange between the pound and US is. I have many peices of antique furntiture and collectables, and get a curator every so often to asses them.You'd be amazed.

Looks like something AS would make with a lattice.

he's holding his hair. and he is some sort of a dragon :) and no markings whatsoever. that's what's leading me to believe that's it's not all that expensive or old

Yeah usually they would have some kinda of makers mark or inscription somewhere on them, The fact he's holding his bound hair makes me think it's chinese. They had a great influence over the surrounding countries up until the 1800's early 1900's. But without being able to handle it and inspect it first hand it's just to hard to say...

....mmmmmm,that head dress is not chinese.I would say look into India,Thai,burma,or even tibet.In chinese art dragons are made using a "formula" that describes the chinese view of dragons.Non of these key characteristics are present.Also the wood makes me question it as well,it looks non-chinese(or at least what is normaly used).Chinese artists also always leave a sybol(or character) to show the maker....even if its a knock off it will have a mark.The whole style seems of asian origin,but look south of china,this is missing key chinese elements.
