Hello! A short while ago I found an approximately 2 feet high statue, of a Yeren type hominid or Wild Man of the Woods, in the Aladdin`s Cave Antique Shop at 29 Park Lane, Macclesfield,SK11 6TJ. This was the same place I bought a jackalope, which I featured in my blog several weeks ago. Garth the owner is selling this Wildman for £40 not including postage. My idea that it looks like the Yeren is based on this link: http://www.cryptomundo.com/wp-content/uploads/yeren11.jpg
TIME OUT FOR FUN
By DEVO
Hello this is Devo
We would like to say
Things go both ways
New ideas stupid moves
Nightmares or dreams come true
Mucho work minus play
Tension mounts in a twisted face
Dark clouds in the crystal ball
Tension mounts in a foreign place
The screw turns someone calls
Time out for fun
Time out for fun
Time out for fun
Time out for fun
That might well be intended as a Yeren, but it would be of modern and nontraditional manufacture. I posted an earlier blog which featured a very chimpanzee-like netsuke from Japan which would be the more traditional representational counterpart for the Hibagon sort of creature.
ReplyDeleteThis is plainly a Wildman type, but it is pretty generic after that much. The image from cryptomundo is incidentally a drawing of a fullsized statue reconstruction of a Gigantopithecus. You would have to know if the maker of this statue intended for it to be a Yeren of the larger or smaller-sized sort.
"Classic" Yerens are supposed to be redheaded (all over) but I do think some reports describe them as being all-white (or all-black)
Best Wishes, Dale D.
It's for sale in Macclesfield? It's a lad from Macc!
