Description

in 1996 I was given this by a man that had rented a storage locker from me. He didn't know the origin, he just said it freaked him out and asked if I wanted it. This statue has movable arms and stands about 6 feet tall. His eyes are made of shells and there are some types of lizards on the thing. I haven't seen anything like this online and have not a clue of its history.
