Curious Cast Lead Knight (or Peter Pan?) Meerschaum 1957-1998) from OldsmarI have no idea the origins of their strange fellow, who immediately made me think of Peter Pan, though I'd guess he was meant to be a knight. He's made of lead and has one hole in his back which I'd guess screwed to something, perhaps making him a bookend or a doorstop? I especially like him in silhouette, looking reverent and surreal and a bit Sphinx like to me, and he would certainly make a good bookend or doorstop just as he is. 8 1 8" t x 3 5 8" w
