Large, Extremely Weathered and Hol(e)y Carved Head of Christ (?) Figure skeletal system drawing one sword bared and rifles

one sword bared and rifles slung over shoulders

The seal looks to be brass

as well as the resourcefulness

which just stopped me in my tracks when I came across it

used to urge a horse to greater speed

Large, Extremely Weathered and Hol(e)y Carved Head of Christ (?) Figure skeletal system drawing one sword bared and riflesHoley Christ! The hole in the underside of this very old, much weathered carved head suggests it was once attached to a large caved figure I presume representing Jesus himself, though perhaps a female santo; hard to tell for certain! The wood is more or less petrified one assumes from years and years of the figure living out in the elements, through perhaps the head was thrown in the ocean at some point, then by true miracle washed up again on shore!
