Little Blue Glazed Clay Man with Giant Blade top hang it is possible that wholeA curious little red clay man, who originated I know not where. I found him with this carved wooden paddle spear of sorts, the pointy tip of which fits into a small opening in one hand, but which will also tuck into the space made by his folded elbow.
