I Call Her Helmet Head, Giant Carved Head

Regular price $150.00

I found this one just as news of Omicron's spread got bad, attracted in part I think because it's of the scale of an actual person--quite a presence in the room she feels like actual company, and I've been talking to her (naming her "Helmet Head" along the way. Another thing I like about her is that I can't quite pin her down--definitely she feels fairly stoic and intense (with pencil-drawn pupils that seem as if they might emit laser-beams), but also rather mysterious and elusive. And this giant dome of hair makes her feel one part 1950s housewife and one part alien!

15 1/2" t x 8 3/4" w x 9 1/4" d. Hand chiseled. There is a repaired (glued) split to the base as documented -- not surprising due to the size. Otherwise, very good condition, I would guess maybe 1960s-70s or so. Unsigned.
