Life-size Maori Warrior figure ... and other things

Is anyone interesting in obtaining a life-size figure of a Maori Warrior, from a former museum display? Baltimore's Dime Museum, a wonderful place which featured all sorts of carnival/side-show/unusual items closed a while back, and this Monday (Feb 26) they will be auctioning off what items remain - 307 lots total.

One can bid via ebay live auction.

Here is a picture of the Maori Warrior.

I was debating whether to bid on this. I stopped at the auction preview, and decided he was a bit too scary looking! (He has bad teeth too!) That is not a mask he is wearing - his face is painted with a warrior pattern.

Also up for sale are a couple of pseud0 (fake) shrunken heads
