Description

clay, vegetal fibres, glass beads, cracks, base

The face of this unusual figure seems to have a large mask placed in front of it, that has extremely expressive, displaced facial features. Its horn-like hairstyle is made-up of two cartridge cases.

The beautifully modeled and completely symmetrical body has only one breast.
