“Sufi, the magus’s camel,
was a remarkable mammal,
as at home in a busy bazaar
as alone on a dune with a star.”

- John Biccard

HIGHLY DESIRABLE CRUSHED MARBLE SCULPTURE

“SUFI (THE MAGUS'S CAMEL)”

UP FOR AUCTION FROM THE BICCARD COLLECTION

 

FROM THE SOUTH AFRICAN ARTIST AND VISIONARY, JOHN BICCARD, IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A UNIQUE HANDMADE WORK OF ART WITH A WHIMSICAL TOUCH.

 

EACH SCULPTURE IS HAND FINISHED WITH HIS INITIALS ENGRAVED ON IT (SEE 2nd PHOTO). PRODUCTION OF THESE SCULPTURES CEASED IN 1999, MAKING THESE SCULPTURES VERY COLLECTIBLE.

 

CONDITION: EXCELLENT

(This camel has amazing muscular detail to his face, shiny black eyes, a heart-shaped nose (which John seemed to love to do since you see this on a few of the figurines) and a look of pure serenity and satisfaction in his smile. This funky camel is John’s version of the eye of the needle. Read more about Sufi’s features here: http://www.pjdesigns.com/pj/biccard1.htm. The pictures do not do these items justice. When you have them up close in your hands, you can feel and see the amount of effort and detail that went into making them)
