    This carving of a man's head/face from a coconut husk is quite impressive in its detail and downright life-likeness (if you ask me). I love even the side hair over the ears on his balding head.

    What am I going to do with it, you might ask? Well, it's now hanging in my daughter's room awaiting her return from college for Thanksgiving. <insert evil laugh>

    It's 7.5" tall and weighs next to nothing.

      I myself would do the same to my sister...bahahahaha. Love to scare here!!

      I would hang on the wall in a permanent place like a hallway and highlight with a painting/picture light. Imaging all the great conversations that would bring ;)
