What’s the Golem of Prague look like.

Trying to get a general sense if there’s any consensus.

In statues and how I’ve always imagined he’s a kind of big-hero six shaped guy with his head pretty low set into his shoulders and like half as wide as he is tall and about 8 feet high.

And he’s got cracks in his body that have been mended with some metal straps screwed into him.

Now, only recently I’ve been looking for inspiration for a short film with a Golem in it and looking at more and more versions of the story it seems he’s a bunch of different shapes from vaguely humanoid lump to perfectly normal looking guy.

And also I can’t figure out why the hell he’s depicted with the cracks in him. That hasn’t appeared anywhere yet on my end.

So, wider Jewish community of Reddit – What does a golem look like in your head, does he have cracks? If so why? Can he talk? Does he wear clothes?
