Nice figure.

That is really fascinating. Like an animal god.

Excellent video, I'm glad it's in a museum. However I would love to have this in my collection

Very interesting. I'd love to visit this part of the world someday.

I bet the outstretched hand would hold the sacrifical knife when it wasn't being used. Are those fine flakes remnants of golden paint? Imagine how it would look with both of those cup-like eyes filled with blood.

If that statue was sprayed with blood that is Alive and it is a living being.
