It turned out to be a very crudely-made head, wrought in coarse, cellular lava.

Considering the material, the work was really fine; nor was it a fragment broken from the body, as there had never been more than what we saw.

From here, a yet more drunken _dulcero_ insisted on our going to his _dulceria_ and bake-shop, where he told us that he had a much finer piece.

We found he really had an enormous head, made of coarse, but rather bright, red stone; it was another example of the same type of separate head, a type which must be characteristic of the district.
Notwithstanding the fine promises, we found no beds or other furniture when we returned to our room.

This was not, perhaps, surprising, in view of the excitement over the wedding, which might drive lesser matters out of the mind of the great official.
