What does this mean?

Dear Floyd,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be a wooden sculpture made in the late 19th or 20th century. The statue depicts a hermaphrodite and is comparable to pieces made by the Dogon and Bamana tribes in Mali.
This piece is in medium condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 600 to 1.200 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards,
Georg
