Topic: Help Needed In Identifying This Paperweight

[daveweight]

I won this unusual paperweight on ebay a few weeks ago but can't figure out who made it so I thought I would post this picture in the hope someone might recognise this and be able to tell me something about the maker.
Can anyone help please ?

Hi Dave, this has a real Australian feel to me, the figure on it resemble's Aborigonal pictorial figures, but i could be wrong.

Did you ever get it identified, Dave?  It sounds like a Chris Pantano Dreamtime piece and there are other series from overseas.  Sometimes Pantano just used a sticker instead of engraving his signature.

If you still want to try to identify it I would need you to repost the photos since the others have been deleted.

PS.   I have 93 paperweights by some 60 or so Australian artists.
