Quite possibly the best EMEK... For those who have seen this in person, and the Whale Bone Grove Horkey, which moon do you prefer?

You know what makes a lot of sense? Bidding on an auction that has 9+ days to go.

Looks like the guy on Ebay found the limit for this.

Originally he said he would be perfectly fine keeping it
in his collection when someone pointed out the inflated price,
now he's saying this is his 3rd and last time putting it up
for sale.

New pics added of the sculpture that inspired this piece: James Earle Fraser's "End of the Trail" from Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina.

So which one of this is in South Carolina? I thought the original is in Oklahoma City.

Wikipedia wrote:It was for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition held in San Francisco in 1915 that Fraser produced his most recognized work, the doleful "End of the Trail." While intended to be cast in bronze, material shortages due to the war prevented this, and the original plaster statue slowly deteriorated until it was obtained by the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in 1968 and restored. The restored statue is currently on display in the entryway of the Oklahoma City museum, and the original that sat in Visalia, CA, was replaced with a bronze replica.

Fraser was later to remark that he should have copyrighted the image and that many people, painters, print and calendar makers and even other sculptors, made more profit from this work than he did.

the fact you just admitted to it being rolled up for years might make some gunshy on trading for it .... you may want to unroll it.
