I have a large in lay carving of an Indian Chief, he could have been Native American, that unfortunately I am going to have to part with. The carving features the head of the Indian as well as the head of a buffalo and a drum in the background.. If you know of where i might be able to get a fair estimate of this piece of art would appreciate your help The piece is over 20 years old, carved into pine with a stain over the whole piece.
