The coolest thing I own is a 4-ft. nude statue of a young boy, carved from some very hard wood, probably Micronesian and probably used as a grave ornament. I have seen a very similar piece in the Rockefeller collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. My husband and I collected American primitive art and this is the only thing I have that is not American.
