Clay Che Guevara figurine from a street market in Havana, Cuba, collected by Una & Ken in 2004 Part of my travel collection of small figurines I call “Little Gods”.

“The Argentine guerrilla and modern Cuba’s co-founding father has been fashioned into a hipster icon, a counter-cultural hero, an anti-establishment rebel, and a champion of the poor. As James Callaghan once put it, “A lie can be halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on.” (Quote source)
