Oh Deer...



To the left is another really endearing (vintage) photograph of a girl feeding a fawn. To the right is a photo of a gilded deer taken from a Pazyryk burial from the 5th century BCE. Learn more about deer mythology by CLICKING HERE.

That gilded deer is incredible.

Can we expect an Odette NY design inspired by it? ;-) I'd be down with it.

Well, I did this one:

But then I always see something I wish I had done a little differently. Might just have to make another piece to go with it!
Do you know exactly what that is? Is it a pin?

Oh, I almost forgot about your's. It's quite nice.

It says that it's a gilded wooden figurine. It's from a burial chamber. It doesn't say whether or not it's some kind of pin. Alas. It looks as though it is sitting on a sceptor or something.
