Finally... the "Lost Sailors" series

Mini-Tangs that have actually slept with the fishes!

Carved from 100% AUTHENTIC SHIPWRECK TEAK!

No are two are alike and range in size from two to five inches. Some bare the markings of seaworms, while others retain patches of original weathered deck varnish or screw holes.

I intended to keep my abstractions limited to reinforce my rectangular medium. Pigments used reflect the color scheme of the drowned Vaya.

Enjoy.

**It seems the light schooner Vaya was making a hasty retreat from particularly inclement winter seas when a rouge wave dragged her across the rocks at the San Diego Bay Channel entrance. Sinking fast with water pouring in below deck the captain set course dead-a-ground coming to rest in a six or more feet of chilly water in Mariners Cove. After stripping what electronic equipment could be saved he dissapeared, abandoning the rolling hulk to the tides... and a mysterious midnight salvage crew.

Local legend tells that some nights the shadowy figure of a fat man with a pointy beard can still be heard yelling eerily from shore "don't bother swimming back without those pulley's Murf!"**

LS1 - hand carved shipwrecked teak, Shell w/ tahitian shell pearl, pigments, seed oils, organic hemp braid w/ ostrich shell clasp.
