    [​IMG] The reason I traded it was because, it is so beautiful...! :D All they wanted in exchange was a brick....!! ;) As this object was propping a door open..!! :eek: It is made from Ebony.... [​IMG] Does that help any?? Trouble is, if I show more it will be obvious I think...... :D ;) Back Later.... [​IMG]
