[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4266836, member: 84"]I found this today at a local thrift store; it's by Marwal Industries & made of chalkware. It's also one of the most unusual versions of Moses I've ever seek - he has horns coming out of his head like the devil! I've only found 1 other example; it's on Worthpoint so I can't see what it sold for - but some of the Marwal statues are selling for crazy prices especially since it's chalkware! Another interesting thing - the one on Worthpoint is 18" - mine is 19" + compared to the one on Worthpoint my Moses has baby horns! Is it uncommon to have differences in Marwal's? Also is that Moses's hair he has in his hand not holding the tablet or a snake in 5th photo? (a horned Moses - maybe he's got the snake from Eve's apple talking to him?) Is this a good find/buy? (I got to admit the details are amazing; especially his hair) Any information or thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! PS - What's best way to cover where chalkware is showing - just touch up with a bottle of gold/brown nail polish?
