Item Description:
A realistic bronze wall sculpture of a man’s crotch area. He is wearing a shirt and pants. The pants are split open from the top of the fly downwards to reveal a human face with a mustache. A scaled-down pair of World War I biplanes fly out of the split above the face’s forehead while a line of small soldiers in World War I combat uniforms march out of the face’s open mouth.
