Glad you all liked Helmut's animal sculptures, I thought you might.

Mikee, where did you get that lovely opener, I don't believe we've seen this one before? That's a fantastic carving by any standards, the detail like the sagging of the leather boot-tops is simply top-notch and brilliant. So many aspects to study and enjoy from the very top to the fine acanthus leaf cluster at the base. Now that's a keeper!

If you get a chance I'd love to see more of this wonderful item, you sure know how to pick 'em.

Best regards!
