Video Transcript

"On behalf of expert village my name is Husain Abdul Alim I’m here to tell you about carving figurines. To price this one I’ve had this up in the gallery Gerome, this is been priced the first time I had it up there was $1600.00. The last show I did August the 4th I had it up there for a month at $1400.00. I really don't want to get rid of it this is the second time I’ve done this. I had one a little bit higher back in the seventies of man and woman conjoined I called it. She is bigger than him, she is supporting him she has got the job and all that good stuff. So this is about one of the more expensive pieces I have in my repertoire. Something like this would go for about $900.00 and I got this sister here made out of cotton wood, she's goes at about $1800.00 and that's the challenge. Here is one of my bigger pieces Neptune, Neptune can go for about $500.00, $450.00-$500.00. Get a glimpse of this guy, triangle head, again mister triangle head would be about $220.00-$230.00. Here's one that's part of a series I did. I did three men and women together and this one would go for about $280.00 I figure about $140.00 a piece. $140.00 for this one and $140.00 for that one we're looking at $280.00."
