Very impressive for something slightly larger than the size of a 3" titanium figure.

 

I think i'll display it next to lioconvoy...

 

I'm waiting for the pewter variant.

 

Small price to pay,

if you have several billion dollars.

 

I feel better about my spending habits.  

 

So this went to a private collector? Wow art lovers are loaded.

 

I think she'd make a kickass Battle Beast.

 

And consdiering it was made at the time the wheel was just becoming popular, in amazing condition.

 

I agree - the sculpting is pretty good but I'm kinda amazed that its based in some sort of cat-man???

 

I wish They Might Be Giants bought it. That would be too awesome.

 

Only if it came from Istanbul (not Constaninople)

 

The Mesopotamians, awesome.

 

I wanted a wheel for christmas that year, but had to make do with fire instead because the caves were all out of stock.

 

So.. does this mean it was on loan to the museum? I didn't know museums would auction off priceless history

 

The museum didn't own it and presumably didn't sell it.

 

I see you haven't listened to their newest CD yet...

 

No, clearly not. Just attempting humor. Needs work, huh?

 

Why does that amaze you? More recently than 5,000 years ago, the Egyptians worshipped animal and sun gods. Hindu doesn't exactly stick to 100% human gods either.

 

Well said
