(115,722 posts)1. That's quite nice, thank you for posting this.
I saw the photo and my first thought was Dale Lamphere, turns out he designed it but how did I come up with the name? Weird.

and it is a stately piece of art. I don't stand a chance of getting the name of any artist correct so you are one step ahead of me.
