This charming little piece demonstrates the whimsicality of art without eliminating the skill that is required to create a work of art. This animal with the nose of a crocodile shares characteristics with a human being, while standing on only two legs. The headpiece is unique but extremely dramatic, adding a new dimension to the piece. Within the sculpture, the features have been appliquéd onto the body, creating three-dimensionality to the work as a whole. The stance of the animal suggests a purposefulness and feeling of security. Collectively, the piece is alive with emotion and character, signifying a true work of art.
