I was going to add my vote for Paul, but see it has already been settled. As for signature, we can't even try to help without seeing your best...
I assumed it was seller's description. Odds are they're meant for goats, but really, cutter should have stuck to buildings.

Was hoping you would add your cameo. You can see even in the paintings when she is quite young that she had a tendency to be zaftig. All those...
I have no idea what this is & would have liked to examine in person, but threw in my max & alas, got sniped. It looks, at first glance, like a...
Would you say they're a bit prickly?
