Description
Oracle (Power Figure)Like my other Power Figures, this is loosely based on African Bochia and Minkisi power figures, sometimes called "nail fetishes" because of the nails and other pieces of metal that are driven into them ritually to release their magical power.
The figure (head, arms, legs and body) is entirely hand-sculpted by me. Additive material (magical adornments) includes "doll eye" beads hand-painted by me, replica antique doll arms, fishing net and rusty nails. The figure is articulated at the shoulders and hips.
Oracle (Power Figure)
Handmade doll sculpture. 12.75 inches tall.

It does have a strange power. Terrific modelling on the head!
