Horny Cupids are some mischievous bunch. I took inspiration on various folk tales, some children's books (you can see the Bunnicula influence in some of them), and some popular vinyl toys to produce this series. Along with these inspirations I also pull from the voodoo folklore as well as the African Nkondi figures from Congo (Nkondi are religious idols made by the Kongo people of the Congo region. The name nkondi derives from the verb -konda, meaning "to hunt" and thus nkondi means "hunter" because they can hunt down and attack wrong-doers, witches, or enemies.)
All those influences created the series, that along with being single again, are my own interpretation of being free, playful and yes, horny...haha!!
Please, be aware that these are one of a kind pieces. They are imperfect by nature, so any hairline cracks, flaws, roughness, or texture discrepancies, are part of the piece's charm.
Nkondi Heart Horny Cupid would look great in your studio or as part of your art collection.
It is finished and ready to go to a good home.
The piece comes with the glass dome.
Enjoy!
