Nic and Douglas,

I believe my co-worker figured out the mysterious 'shrunken head' in the unnamed Second Coming painting:

the head of Goliath which David decapitated (and presumably strapped on to his shin as a war trophy).

What d'ya think?

About the picture of David's shin guard. I thought Goliath was a giant. To put his head on David's shin well, David must be a gaint too. Maybe the scale of the painting was shrunken down.

True. Not sure why it's so small, except that it really does look like a 'shrunken head'. Mabye the painter's implying that David pickled it for a while or something.

I still don't quite get the whole 'shin guard' look of it either.

Did you have any luck locating the name of hte painting?

No, Beth and I looked for a while. We couldn't come up with anything on the internet.
