R U 4 real. Very nice £20,000+ nice? I am really lost for words, cumming on too strong.

The large photo should come up without all that sign up nonsense.

Bidding that much can only be described as a foolish 'Axe-shun'

i believe the saying attributed to P.T. Barnum is applicable.

nice spin doctoring on the description.

Having seen the larger pictures, indeed a very fine piece and had time to think about this a little more. If I were rich I think it may well be worth every penny. One just has to make a comparison to some of the art worlds and markets harbingers of taste. I will not mention any names like Saatchi, gosh did I say Saatchi !! Collectors and a market for if not the talentless many creators of style over substance. Take the over hyped Diamond set cast platinum skull all "Hurst's" handy work? I do not think so. Does it shock, is it new to the world of art, does it express anything? perhaps just affluent decadence.
This axe was actually made by the artist.

A TRULY EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE I NOTED THE ESTIMATE WAS 38000.00 TO 50000.00. I SEE THERE WAS PROVENANCE AND A KNOWN MAKER AND IT HAS BEEN IN SEVERAL EXHIBITS BUT DID NOT SEE THE APPROXIMATE AGE OR WHAT CHIEF OR RULER IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE FOR. WAAAY OUT OF MY CLASS BUT I LIKE IT. THANKS FOR THE PICTURES
