    Bought this figure today
    image3.jpeg image2.jpeg image1.jpeg image0.jpeg
    Terracotta, 29 cm and 1655 grams

    Found her twin here https://www.artstation.com/johnduque This guy seems to have used the image of an identical figure to create various digital versions of it. No further info on the origin of the figure.
    And Google Lens also shows an identical figure on willhaben.at/, but the ad no longer exists.

    So, I have no clue regarding what, where, when, who.

    I thought about doing that, but not until I've consulted the oracles here :)

    I'm a bit disappointed you didn't reply with the name, photo and birth certificate of the maker.... :p

    You're going to have to ask him about birthmarks. ;)

    To me it looks like something made for a humour/comical purpose. Like something for a home bar decor.

    Not sure I want to know either.:bag:
    But I don't think it belongs in the Tribal Art forum.

    That would be good nnews to a certain someone here at home, who didn't want me to bring any voodoo kind of stuff into the house :D

    My intention was indeed to put it in another forum, as I wasn't sure if this was tribal, or just some fun piece someone made a week ago. Sleep deprived I ended up placing it here... :rolleyes:
