Confronting Small Face

This worm-like bearded figure whose head sits on an arm-like neck is only half of the sculpture. The other half is what this figure was confronting, a life-sized model of the superhero Spiderman.
This sculpture is used in MCA's advertisement of the opening of their $53 million new wing on 28 March.
