    I got this from a friend who won it in a storage auction. The unit was full of ...unusual art! (like a box with a complete model train yard set up inside it + photos of family? cut into shapes, varnished, and stuck randomly in it here & there + along the edges of the piece!)
    What would you call this?
    Any thoughts on the art itself?
    Thanks for any help with this one.

    I think the term "mixed media" applies here.

    Somebody put a lot of work into it. I think the little metal faces are interesting. I suspect the artist is trying to make a statement of some sort, not sure what that is. The Nicaraguan money might be a clue.

    The figures on the left look like death masks.
