This work was fashioned by the owners of the famous Aw Pottery in Ayer Hitam, Malaysia, and it displays considerable liveliness, a quality that almost outweighs its clumsiness. This work's necessary companion ('on the other end'), has weathered its quarter-century here better, as this piece is suffering from some clumsy repairs. I wonder why more works were not commissioned from the Aw brothers? One popular guidebook says of them that they are here to frighten those who would otherswise not declare their minibar consumption. The makers are credited with a little tag affixed to the back of the figures that says ' Made by the Aw Pottery, tel 235-6546'.
