SOFT AS BUTTER GLOVES!!

Honestly!! They are....soft as butter, that is.......and never been worn!! More yellow than greenish.....think they must have been Mom's but she also NEVER wore them! Free postage, USA only...sorry!
Is Sunday or Monday better for the draw/wheel? I know....you don't need them NOW, but!!!! They are size 8..........

 

Aqui, have you become a dying Gaul overnight?

 

Not casting in my lot, but boy, do these take me back. Had a number of pairs of Miss Aris gloves way back when you dressed in your best to go to church or into the big city & you were not completely dressed until you had your gloves on, winter & summer.

As I recall, the virtue of many, if not all, Aris gloves was that they were washable.

 

I would love to win these! I will want to pay postage. They look so soft. I haven't seen old Aris gloves in decades!

 

AWESOME!! Antidiem is IN!!!

Yes, well as I said to Komo, I was looking for something else and came across the amazing sculpture....his beauty just struck me!!!! As well as the pain the sculptor captured on that beautiful body!!!! Just for a while anyway, AJ!!!!

 

They look like driving gloves to me! Please count me in!

 

2 in....MG77 is IN!!! Super!!!

 

I have been fascinated by the Dying Gaul statues ever since childhood. They are always such an impressive expression of a devastating moment and yet so beautiful.
Yes, I was a funny child.
I have always had the same with Thorvaldsen's dying Swiss lion, and Stefano Maderno's body of St Cecilia. I have seen them in 'real life', a few Dying Gaul statues as well, and they are very emotive.
For anyone who gets a chance to visit Rome, the modest Saint Cecilia convent and church in Trastevere is well worth a visit anyway. It is a place of tranquil beauty, away from the bustle of Rome.

 

You will both be puzzled by the description of the intaglio in this ring:



If you don't recognize him, you can find him here. Think the auction house got taken in by the hair, but don't know how they see a mustache.

 

He probably shaved just before the picture was taken. The description had already been written. Don't you hate it when those Gauls do that?

 

New twist on a torque, too.

 

Got that one. Yes, it has grown claws and fur.

 

Since no new takers, I'll draw tonight.....am wrapped up taking pictures at the moment.......long drawn out thang!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks like there are just two of you.... MG77 and Antidiem!!!! Wish I had 2 pair...........

 

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd, the WINNNNNNNAH iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis .........................................
