    Description

    We are selling this turtle hunting float hand carved by Mentewai people from the island of Siberut west of Sumatra, an Indonesian island.  These floats keep a net up and the figures have cultural significance.
    Our trader friend went into the Indonesian jungle with a vest full of tobacco, rolling papers, bobby pins, razors and lighters and this is one of the things he came out with.  We'll ship the next day.
