You came from the Aztecs
With a copper on your fore-arms
Tawnier than a sunset
Saying good-by to an even river.
And I said, you remember,
Those fore-arms of yours
Were finer than bronzes
And you were glad.
It was tears
And a path west
and a home-going
when I asked
Why there were scars of worn gold
Where a man's ring was fixed once
On your third finger.
And I call you
To come back
before the days are longer.
Carl Sandburg, "Aztec".

It looks like the pelvis of a robot.
It's the pelvis of Robot Santa Claus. Satan Claus is gunning you down.
I just looked at the higher resolution picture. That is a really amazing picture, rf. I love the texture. If I had the money, It would be interesting to sculpt it using copper, silver, and gold.
Too bad, because I'm a good sculptor in copper, silver and gold and I've never been able to prove it. ;-)
