About the Item
This is a very cool guy, it's a wooden head of a 19th century 'the Strongest Man of the World' attraction on a carnival or fair.
The brown color, or maybe the shape of his head, makes him a bit exotic too.
This head was probably used as an advertisement piece somewhere in or around the tent.
It's all wood, carved and beautifully painted.
I was very happy to run into this rare and collectible item. A strong piece (pardon the pun).
