Hello, I have a pair of Taiwanese aborigines wood carvings. They seem to be book ends. I am interested in the fragrant wood it is carved from. Does anyone know what this wood may be? Perhaps someone can share some history about the wood carving industry among the Taiwanese aborigines and if certain types of fragrant wood were commonly used? I have several other pieces of Taiwanese aborigines wood carvings and they all have this distinctive scent that fills the room. Thank you so much for any help.
