It is a figurine made of air-dry clay which stands about 17 cm tall. Basically, it is a figurine of a boy with a huge and detachable head which is at least twice the size of a tennis ball. The figurine, clay boy is carrying a haversack that contains a collection of stationery required for drawing and painting. The facial details are elaborated and exaggerated. There are two huge ears sticking onto two sides of e head. A nose that is even bigger than a real person’s. It is wearing a shade, which make it look as cool as Agent Smith from the Matrix Trilogy. There a few very distinct crack across the face which suggests that the figurine is trying to bring out a very rugged and experienced personality. The hair is represented by another thicker layer of clay covering the head. There is also four piece of clay connecting to the clay which represents hair and is suggesting that the clay boy is combing a side parting, just like how the creator look like. The mouth is absent from clay boy which comes to show he is more profound than he looks. When the head is placed onto of the body, it is kind of shaky because there is something else interesting inside it. Looking from the top when the big head is removed, there is a fully featured head in the hollow body.

Due to the amount of time since it is made, clay boy has not completely dried yet. Colour is brighter when it is dried. So, only a small portion of its body is white while the rest look greenish in colour. Clay boy is smooth, especially the head of it. However, with a closer observation, there is also fingerprints and nail-pressed depression on the entire surface of the figurine. Clay boy is cold when you touched it even when the room it is in, is not cold. It is as if you are touching metal.

When I took the courage and taste the figurine with my tongue. Only one thing I can say. It tastes bitter. It has a horrible, bitter taste and even milky taste, if you allow it to dissolve by your saliva before tasting it.

The figurine stinks with the smell you would normally get when you work with clay. The body of the figurine is seemingly hollow with a clear sound when you knock it. The head however, is solid as it has a solid sound when u hit it. It is also very fragile and cracked easily even if a small impact. The connectivity between small pieces of clay to one another is also very weak. You can just twist the hand of the figurine and it will fall off.

However, with the kind of structure the figurine is built. Even if it hit the ground, at most a few of the smaller features drop off or cracks may appear but it can be connected back easily with water. This goes to show that this piece of figurine is very practical(being a item for showcase), durable(will not break beyond repair) and interesting, with deep meaning in it.

That's all folks... Bye
