244. Black Plaster Steer Totem





Unusual plaster or composite piece, in a fanciful design style, featuring a steer skull and a naked human figure holding fish.
Style is not based on standard first nations forms, but loosely follows a design which seems more African in origin, apart from the skull headpiece.
Vaguely similar decoration to no.212, with obscure script running around the base, echoing a number of different types of symbol. Presumably fairly modern and mass market production.

No visible trade marks and hand finished.
