exclusive edition of 'little joseph' by maxim velčovský

maxim velčovský has come out with an exclusive edition of 'little joseph', a ceramic candle holder which has
been cast from the head of a toy doll. when a burning candle is placed in the head, wax melts down forming a
creepy, dripping mass atop of him. now, velčovský's limited edition sees little joseph slightly bruised and worn,
adding another level of eeriness to the already twisted scenario.
