Figurine - Chimú staande figuur - Plaster

Image of an Arumbaya fetish. The original is housed in the Museum of Art and History in Jubelpark, Brussels. The museum houses several objects that have been used by various cartoonists and painters in their works or sculptures. The same goes for Hergé. Inspiration drawn from the museum in the album The Broken Ear. By staff of the museum shop kopeks were made and sold in the shop. Note the ear; this one is whole, just like the original. Hergé drew the ear as broken due to the story. Not an illegal image but an exact copy of the statue in the museum.
