| Description |
Phallic, primal, this brooding idol seems very
close to the natural world, as old and wise as the
stone from which he is carved. His eyes dominate
his face, as though he observes the world
without comment. Not carved on a particularly
large scale, he nonetheless projects a stark,
forceful presence which makes him seem
monumental and awe inspiring.
