There were actually two posted, the second being this one... I did some research here based on what I thought the design appeared to be and tried not to give too much away by asking the question in this thread. I have learned one can't be too careful these days, especially when it comes to having potential purchases sabatoged. For the record, I asked the seller if he knew anything about the carver. He said he did not. He told me his dad worked for a storage place in the Bay Area and this was something he was given along the way. I mentioned I thought it might have been carved by an artist named Barney West and asked him if he was sure he wanted to sell it. He said he was sure and we made a deal. Very nice guy.
