For real, this is an excellent relief sculpture - great perspective. Just creepy and inappropriate is all

Sometimes it makes me sad that we put everything under so much harsh scrutiny. Whoever made this most likely didn’t have any creepy intentions and probably made it for a child they loved, not knowing someday it would be plastered on the internet for everyone to insult. Sorry to whoever’s grandma this was who made it.

What gets me is that it’s only a dollar. Someone’s heart n soul went into making it! And your right, it’s probably well intentioned. Context is important though, and we also severely downplay the wrongdoing of the church and their involvement in pedophilia

I'm betting that it's mass produced. My MIL gave me one almost identical (different paint) that had been hanging in my husband's bedroom as a kid.
