This example seems to be earlier than the ones he is making now. many differences like the opposite paw is on the book. It is signed Furlan Walter much larger than any others I come across. I did just win this on a eBay auction for some reason only one other person bid no one saw it I guess because I basically stole it in my eyes. Wondering if this may have been when he was working at Seguso Vetri d'Arte? No damage
