another Paul on Sgt. Pepper?

[il ras]

I don't know if it has been already discussed.
It seem to me that in this area of the cover, the CD version calls it Mexican candlestick, there are a couple of strange things.

The first one seems a puppet representing Paul.
The second is a sort of disturbing mask.

I had to check the cover of my vinyl cause on the CD one was too small.

I think the first thing is the figurine of a Mexican in a little sombrero.
The other thing is just the base of the candlestick.

A while back I speculated with some others that that segment of the Sgt Pepper scene represents a "Mexican funeral", where people bring objects significant to the deceased to the gravesite. Candles, objects they owned, images that related to them; things they liked, these things were brought to comfort and ease the dead in their passing into the next realm, as I recall.................
