I think this would fall into the Folk art realm, under most cases these items value would be in the unique looks only, as for the country well That would be up in the air. Age on Folk art for the most part is very hard to pinpoint, as is the maker and etc. Keep in mind many folk art items are made by locals to be sold as Tourist items, and this would mean the age again without any history would be hard to establish. If you like the item and is planning to keep for it looks then you did great at $5.00
