Anyway I found this strange plaster figure at a local thrift shop. It seems strangely familiar, but... Anyway, the only marking is "COPY" and the little dude is pretty creepy. It appears to be a warrior or hunter of some sort, a native or even a devil? (note the small horn-like things?) He is holding down a small animal and has something in his hand, possibly a weapon or cloth or? Also possibly the strangest of all are the two cone shaped holes in his head. I could see the one on top maybe being for a place to burn incense or something, but what could the one in the back be for? I am at a total loss on this one, any ideas? note the two dark spots which are deep cone shaped holes?
