This piece is made of paper and is also stuffed with old newspaper the paper looks like textured cloth and more durable than regular paper that's brittle and crumbles with age. There is a hole in the leg and the news paper warns of people shooting their guns for the new year and how to avoid getting shot by those celebrating! I was tempted to widen the hole to read more it sounded like the wild west!
Very interesting ad unique . Would love to know what country he is dressed from . Either Africa or Middle East ? Hopefully some one knows on CW .
His 'treasure chest' makes me wonder offhand if he was one of the "Three Wise Men" from a Christmas creche. I don't know why, but it seems like those often depict the wise men as 'colored' while everybody else is caucasian...??
