Featured Charging Ram Figurine marked ...

Its definitely not Strelha - I have one in the other room - their mark is different. And now my wife is telling me that she thinks its Nordic or something - so, that makes three of us ... OK, I'll look into it ...

 

... Am I pushing this too far - or do I detect some kind of connection here?



... Yes - I know the top image is of one of the Worlds finest Art-Nouveau sculptors in bronze ... my question is - is the bottom image inspired by Fayral's work ... I can find no other image of goat figurines anywhere that have the drama that is in this little clay piece ... but do you see anything here? I would love to hear any of your comments - no matter what you have to say.

 

Other than depicting rams in an aggressive pose, which is not uncommon, can't say I see any indication that yours was inspired by the other piece - not even really the same in that the bronze appears to be standing his ground, and your bighorn looks to be in full charge...
