Notes:
Originally recorded under HP0528, the current title is not the original title given by the artist!
Valued by Gallery 21 in 1974 at ZAR600 for insurance purposes, the sculpture having been damaged beyond repair at both feet during first owner's move to Cape Town in 1974.
The work was later repaired unprofessionally by unknown and a heavier base added for stability.
The above image has been retouched to reflect the pre-repair state!
