A nice photo of this museum piece. One does not find this type of humorous creation often in our world today. This is a good reminder of our true innocence and appreciation for simple humor and the things that give us pleasure. Thanks Fred ~ Steve

Ha! I am happy to report our Dental Equipment is fairly new as we moved into a brand new office 10 yrs ago. Our old office looked like this! PFFT!
Nice find and capture Fred, seems I am always on your mind as you travel. :)

Comment from T.davisartsandcrafts
This is funny. I thought is was clay figures not a photograph. I have to go to the dentist next week and that won't be too funny. Did you photograph a clay figure or create this. It's so cute. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic little clay piece here. Great details and well framed. Good lighting and really just a fun photo until you think about actually having to go visit the dentist.

You really do come across the most fun images to photograph! Was there a time frame associated with this image? Circa 1910 perhaps. LOL. Great techs on the snap my friend, thanks for sharing.

Comment from Bernadette Ballarin
That is so cool! I love South American art and this is definitely one of those pieces that has humour and satire rolled into one. Probably worth a small fortune at this stage. Thanks for showing us. Think it's great.
