Super Sculpey

Some cultures focus more on sculpture than 2D artwork. I can use a polymer clay called Super Sculpey to do some sculptural pieces.
Polymer clay is a little like plasticine, until you bake it and it hardens up, becoming quite resilient.

 Based on the elongated animal shapes I saw on Roman brooches in the Ashmolean museum. A faun, from Roman mythology.
Based on the aesthetic of Inuit sculptures - skeleton showing, black and white, deformed looking.
