Awesome piece of Art Work!
They have a piece exactly like this coming up for auction very soon. Seen it the other day on line.
Please email me (pulvinar20@yahoo.com) with information about the piece you saw coming up for auction. I would like to find out more about my piece or possibly even obtain the other one so I can have a pair! Thx, Jeff.
ok will do.
I think I will have trouble with this as I look at 30 or so auctions a day on line at more than a few sites. I remember they did not seem to know what they had except to say it was bronze and did not know how to describe it, so I cannot remember the heading which would have been a clue.
Fair enough. Thanks for looking.
i have placed several loves in some of your postings -- all are very nice -- thank you for posting and for the information shared
Thanks for the kind words. Half the pleasure of collecting is the ability to share the obsession with others. Cheers!
very pretty postings -- you have great taste -- loved them all
