    I saw this on my travels and just had to buy it, because it's so weird. Similar to Troika but possibly a bit too sloppy. The base has felt stuck to it, so will give it a good soak when I get home and see what it reveals.

    Photos of other angles.

    There is something written on the base 'blah 1986'. Not sure if this is from the original artist or added by a collector. Not sure whether to remove it to search for a mark.

    Found some writing on the base. Still none the wiser.

    I suspect John Cert made it, whoever he may be. Possibly a student or studio piece.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    It does look student made. I like it.
