Paper Mache goblin

Name/Title

Paper Mache goblin

Entry/Object ID

E-129

Description

Made of paper-mache, this goblin has a wheel in the center of his chest, and two "horns" curving from his head. One horn, the left, is snapped in half, but still attached. Shoddy paint job, with much of the paint blotchy, uneven and slightly chipped. The wheel, which spins and is painted with four colors (pink, black, silver, and red) in the center of his chest has a hook in the middle, possibly to hold an arrow that is now missing. There is also a white string tied around his neck, but no ornamentation on it.
