Description
This intricate origami model depicts the face of Alberich, a mythical figure, characterized by deep-set eyes, a prominent nose, and a highly textured, flowing beard. It is a refined version of an earlier model, folded from elephant-hide paper painted with a mottled green and black pattern to enhance its sculptural quality.
