Mermaid
(from Noah’s Ark)
< Previous----Next>
This mermaid is inspired by an illustration of Noah and the art from the Nuremberg
Bible of 1483. In addition to a seal and the tops of some mountains and castles,
there are two mer-people swimming in the flood waters. The merman looks longingly
at the ark while the mermaid arranges her hair and admires her image in a
hand mirror. Perhaps instead of death drowning, God has decided to punish
this woman’s vanity by turning her into a mermaid. Made from glazed
red earthenware clay, the back of this limited edition piece displays the
artist's signature stamp and the LQP chop mark. Left 2" high, right 1
3/4".
