Marvin the Ibex -- Luristan, terra-cotta 4th-5th century A.D.

ibex, luristan, terracotta

Marvin lost his horns back in antiquity; he was found in 1955 and sold at auction in NYC in 1959. He has been with me ever since, sitting quietly in my pastel studio, inspiring me and giving me guidance. He is also a terrific psychic conversationalist. I have lost several chess games to Marvin.

He is emphatically not for sale at any price, although I will endeavor to find something similar for you if you commission me to do it.
