in light of all this review and given it's clarifying power it saddens me to know that one of those war trophies was stolen from it's winner...some guy who killed another guy that was a part his family's nemesis crowd was robbed or driven to slavery in order to satisfy another man's curiosity about foreign culture instead of opting to learn about it in first person...

in my mind i would buy something like that in order to liken myself to the trophy holder's spirit conceptually ...to believe that i am capable of striking down my obstacles in whatever form the present themselves... to claim the right to my life like he did in his day ...but now knowing that this guy was a victim makes me want to liken myself to him less... and knowing WHY he was taken for granted is even worse...the price tags on those things is amazing in and of itself...if the person who took it thought it was treasure it would never see the light of day (like the museum peices)...it was stolen to sell... weak!!!

somehow now i want to buy it even MORE just to liberate it and give it a proper altar where it would be surrounded by tiny tiny fires

that is SOME site though...cool images all over and through it...pirates!
