The Thief of Bagdad


My inspiration for the Hare Idol (see below) is this scene from The Thief of Bagdad (1940).  Sabu climbs up the inside of the great statue, fights a giant spider and steals the all seeing ruby eye.




Although there are so many wonderful figures that are made to receive peoples sincerest spiritual devotion, I prefer this amped up, stylized, motif mad version.  

It's a terrifically fun movie too.
