What an odd little person this is! Legs spread
wide, as if saddled upon an imaginary horse.
Resting precariously on his toes with a
mysterious object balancd atop his head. Is he an
initiate in some obscure Mesoamerican religios
ritual or merely a participant in a funny game
whose rules have long-since been forgotten?
