Maybe worth a try - and potentially no more sleepless nights. :-)Liesbethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402741679152508367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244908.post-32503934690688755812020-08-23T07:26:07.907-07:002020-08-23T07:26:07.907-07:00Hi, Liesbet.

I would have liked to take one home, though, for their mystery has certainly 'plagued' me!Beth Camphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682622561621269515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244908.post-52726534398727225632020-08-22T12:17:28.099-07:002020-08-22T12:17:28.099-07:00These are fascinating statues indeed, Beth.

Did you buy them and are they now gracing your humble abode or did you just take photos of them in that shop? <br /><br />The beaks do remind me of a black mask with a similar beak I bought in Venice many years ago. Yet, these beaks are weird to see on a group of explorers or members of a tribe...
