I am in Kolkata. One of my Australian friends sent it as a gift. The art work is intricate and lovely. It's real aboriginal I am told. It's a rare item to be found in India. Though I am literally dying to try it out, yet the prospect of damaging it deters me :)

Very Nice!
That is a work of art.
I wouldn't want to throw it.
