Posted By: Paula Wed, Sep 21, 2022 Here are three snapshots. The tail had been severed and reattached at some point in time long ago. The friend who passed it onto me indicated that he thought it had been done to ship it. It is otherwise in excellent condition. |

Posted By: Paula Sat, Sep 24, 2022 I've tried a couple of times to upload pics. I think the files may have been too large. This is another attempt. Let me know if these make it clear as to whom the artist/maker may be. The Tiger is about 20 1/2 inches long. |

Posted By: Madria Sun, Sep 25, 2022 Upload still did not work. You can upload images to a plattform of your choice and post a link here. Otherwise everything you upload here has to be smaller than 25 mb. But I think you could trust I.Nagys transltaion. He is quite the expert on that. His translation matches the second link I send you (it's the same artist in different spelling) |
