Note Fr. Steele:

"wisely anonymous" | "UGGGGHly--Nuestra Señora del Frankenstein" | Thomas J. Steele, S.J., purchase notes | "seller said 'at least 15 yrs old . . . done by an Albuquerque carver'" | "truly no skill, talent, or experience . . . or the right tools--saw, woodrasp, axe-adze, knife, x-acto? gouge (used to make necklace & cross designs; pencil (eyes & mouth). Had some sort of a halo--3 holes in neck/head. Seems to be from unmilled wood--or from a scrap of a 4 x 4." | "Truly cubist by pure accident--human body deconstructed."
