GUEST: It's an American
Indian-- probably from
the Northeast-- root club.
APPRAISER: And you're right,
they are Penobscot. They're from
Maine; it's definitely mid-19th
century. But they're famous
for doing these bizarre ends
from the roots. Sometimes it's
human faces, sometimes it's
animals. Any idea of the price?
GUEST: Years ago, I had
an estimate of $1,500.
APPRAISER: Right, um, I think
this one would definitely reach
the sort of $2,000 to $2,500
range, okay?
GUEST: That's great.
APPRAISER: It's a
fabulous object.
GUEST: Yeah.
APPRAISER: Thanks
for bringing it in.
