What does this mean?

Dear Wil,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be a wooden sculpture with the measurements of 41" x 14". The sculpture depicts a hermaphrodite with breasts and an erected penis. This wooden carving was made in the second half of the 20th century possibly in Asia most probably in Thailand or Indonesia. This localization fits with the used tropical wood.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 200 to 400 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
