[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9497716, member: 84"]I found some cool lamps at a local thrift store (no art this time!), one of which is this piece; ANY thoughts or information would be greatly appreciated! It appears to be made of chrome or chrome like material & also appears to be Mayan or Aztec? What I haven't seen before (and google image search didn't turn up anything) is why they made it look like a quadruple amputee?! It also has a slot in it's head like it was or is a bank? PS - If you look at the close up of the tube/bar that attaches light to the figure you can see it was done with old slot screws - so it has some age, right? Again, any help or thoughts (what do I call it?) would be greatly appreciated.
