Perhaps the World's Ugliest Nimcha, but Still Quite Interesting

She is gorgeous!
Being able to see each blow of the hammer that coaxed a blade out of metal is like seeing the brush strokes of a painter on an old canvas. Sure, a photograph is a cleaner representation of the subject matter, but you can sense an artist's personality in less refined works. I'm reminded of a trip to the Van Gogh museum-totally different from seeing the same works printed in a book.
Thanks for posting this eye candy.

I agree with the others in the aesthetics of this piece. Shall we call it 'tribal folk art?" Like it either way!

Thank you all for your kind words and observations. I meant "ugly" in the most humble way....were it truly "ugly" I doubt I would make room for it. I just find it a very interesting tribal interpretation of a nimcha. Its crude characteristics are what make it alluring.
