Up above, central, is a satyr? with 2 serpents, in a trussed arch over a sylvan themed scene having a male an' female human, 3 diminutive gnomes, a horses head, an' a bird. The back is crudely filled with tin, as the panel is very thin in some places; it ads stiffness & some mass. Weight is ~196 grams.</p><p>There has to be a mythological tale incorporating all this, but I'm unaware what it may be; your assistance is requested, with thanks for all your comments...an' for lookin' in on my post!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]523555[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]523556[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]523557[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]523558[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
