The MFA has one of Messershmidt's character heads. It intrigued me enough that I looked them up later. These heads were designed to express a pure emotion or sentiment.
One page I found has a brief history of the man, accompanied by high resolution images. (There are other histories on the web, but none so visually illustrated.)
I also found an academic who's written a book (in German) about the man and the heads. His web page includes small images of all the heads.
Finally, I found two decent image galleries online (1, 2).
I believe that within these heads is a good Game clue.
