101. NUN'S HEAD REVISITED

A lady head vase? More like a Mother Superior Head Vase! This is actually a cheap, Japan-made planter, from the 1960s. These are harder to find than the generic lady heads, but are made pretty much the same way--thick, protruding black eyelashes included. Unfortunately, some of the nun's well-polished fingertips have broken off, but this does not detract to the duotone beauty of this nice thrift shop find.

  1. I was about to expect curang curangan.
    This blog has so many scary collectibles
    but surprisingly attractive!

  2. Oh, wait. The creepy nun has
    almost red nails. That's pretty!
