Lowell said...: So very nice! A great series! Very, very interesting! I find that in Europe there is a certain whimsy that is harder to find in the States...

I think so many here are working so hard to get ahead they don't have much time for "fun."; 28 July, 2009
Hilda said...: I like the simplicity of its white and gold. What are those words (names?) written on it?; 28 July, 2009
Ming the Merciless said...: Cool sculpture! I love the golden head on it.; 28 July, 2009
Jilly said...: Hilda, the short answer is I don't know. It's a 'bird of peace' and on the other side of the bird is written 'coat of peace' so I can only assume the names are of battles/war but, like you, I've don't the names.; 29 July, 2009
Jilly said...: Hilda, I think it's the word 'peace' in other languages - perhaps obscure languages.; 29 July, 2009
Pasi from Finland said...: Hilda and Jilly, I found two familiar words; "frieden" and "rauha" which both mean peace. The latter is in Finnish and i was quite surprised to find so familiar word in your blog ;- ); 29 July, 2009
Jilly said...: Pasi, thanks so much for telling us. They were there specially for YOU!; 29 July, 2009
