    Inspired by ho2cultcha's recently shown leather lion figure, here's my own leather camel. :-)

    An x-mas gift from one of my brothers-in-law (a USN pilot at the time) a couple decades ago by now I suppose, not too long after he had returned from his official duty during the beginnings of what sadly remains the ongoing conflicts/wars/tragedies/mess which we now generally all call the "middle east". <sigh>

    It stands roughly 14" tall and about 12" long nose to tail. Also like ho2cutcha I don't really know how it was made, though I've always been impressed by the detail/quality of craftsmanship anyway.
