Photo by 6 year old @hawkeyehuey on assignment for @natgeotravel! #TheThing: a mummified mother and child in a glass case in a metal shed behind a gas station in Arizona. #WhatIsTheThing? It is believed to have been made by a creator of exhibits for sideshows named Homer Tate. Tate was famous for producing sideshow curiosities like faux shrunken heads.
