the item i decided to select

the giant heads that were mentioned

everything about this piece is interesting. i love the tribal,sacred looking aspects too it,it also looks comical with his big head and huge lips. are the arms meant to be missing? did he ever have feet? the whole thing raised loads of questions while i looked at it. AND,hes MEXICAN!! who doesn't love mexico?
