Description
-
This sculpture is of an unknown figure. The sculpture has a piercing facial expression, and displays protruding veins near the brow line and a direct stare from the eyes. The crown is adorned with a spider and the outline of a web along the scalp. The design may have been inspired by Spiderman, who debuted in comics 8 years earlier.
