Idol of Dagon

My second Idol, made with more of the leftover air drying clay, it's based off this picture ( http://www.blueworldaquariums.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/deep-sea-hatchetfish-argyropelecus.jpg )  but with teeth added and some other details to make it seem more fearsome and less scared.  The three pronged top bit is a detail nicked from depictions of the Historical Dagon who sometimes seems to have had a fleur de lis esque crown on his head. 

It makes it look a bit like a pineapple.

It was drybrushed in silver, Rub N buffed gold, then washed black (after an original black wash) and given a gloss varnish - though as with the coins I've noticed a couple of tiny spots flaking off. 

Like the others I'm going to produce documents and such and sell it as a collection box
