Looks like he got his skull bashed in. Nobody liked the beak man.
I once saw a young lady walking along a street pushing a cart. She had pebbles stuck up her nose, sticks in her hair, a beach towel rolled up and wrapped around her neck (it was summer time) and feathers stuck behind her ears.
She must have been one heck of a shaman.
Maybe the guy was an ancient traffic cop. That’s the same kind of stick they carry today in Russia!
