    Greetings. Every time I see this type of clay statue I get it. Just because I like them. I think it’s South American, but not sure. He is 15” tall, 9” wide, standing on what appears to be two head sneak,holding a stick, and on his back there is a hump, or something he carries, I even think it has a shape of another head growing from his back, bit creepy. Any idea what this statue represents? No markings. Thanks very much. Ps. Sorry for the dirty cloth, its my working table.

    I also have a weakness for them. Here's one I found, 18" tall & over 15 lbs. Ancient pieces are way out of my price range, so I figure have something from the region. The large examples have good presence. s-l1600 (49).jpg
