This is another artefact of ours, like Patrick. Some while back we bought a mirror at an auction that had an oak frame with two kind of Dodos carved on it, each looking outwards with their backs to the glass. The frame also has various Roccoco encrustations, acanthus leaves, a scallop shell... A strange and wonderful thing. Even better, the worm-eaten plywood panel on the back bore a pencil inscription saying that it had been "creaeted" in May 1939, It does the heart good to know that as the world hurtled towards war, some crazy loon went to his shed and made this.
Anyway. This is a rather free interpretation of one of the Dodos.
