Item Details
Description
On his custom metal stand (crafted by a metal sculptor specifically for him), this very unique figure stands 10.5" high (figure alone is close to 7 inches). The base measures 2.5" tall x 4" x 3". He is a unique figure that has been shaped by an unusual history. When the Russians marched occupied Mongolia in the late 1920's and destroyed over 2000 temples in a day, he was flattened, burned, and finally buried under rubble. (I have no proof of this. I did purchase him in the 1980's from a Mongolian farmer who found him with a metal detector. I do not know what his original shape and purpose was, but He has no hands or feet. He was likely shot in the stomach You can see evidence if you look in the middle of his belly- you can see the distinctive deep classic bullet indentation in his stomach that almost looks like a belly button. Likely done during the initial Russian takeover in the late 1920's. On his custom stand he almost lookalike he is smoking- (a habit he only picked up recently). He has real charisma.
