Although sculptured stone, I like the embossed effect of the detail really bringing the history alive.

Wonderful natural tones too.

I Belive that's a pineal gland in his hand . . . tell me it isn't so . . . doesn't that look like a sectional view of the thyroid ?

~FalseMaria Apr 27, 2012

Okay I will tell you its not so.

Its a pine cone..... its a symbol of fertility.Like you mentioned before ,these genies are often depicted standing in front of a sacred tree with cone raised in the act of pollination.
