    It is inspired by the work of the 16th century painter Arcimboldo:

    A painting more similar to your pottery Arcimboldo is probably somewhere on this site:

    Glad you were able to lay your hand on it quickly. Knew I'd seen it, but would have taken me a lot of looking to locate.

    There was a very nice restaurant near where I lived a few years ago that had his art all over the walls. I found it put a bit of a damper on my appetite.:yuck: Decided it wasn't worth going into therapy over.:woot:
