Dear Clarence,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a small-sized wood carving depicting a lion. It was made out of tropical wood and as a souvenir for tourists in Africa or less probable Asia.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 5 to 10 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
