	Marking device for use with an animal marking harness - Patent 4563980
		The marking device is positioned on the harness so as to be situated on the breast of the ram so that during mating the colour from the device is rubbed onto the ewe's back.
		The invention is particularly, although not exclusively applicable to the marking device of a livestock marking harness, such as for example as may be fitted to a ram or bull.
		Such harnesses when fitted to the ram support a marking device, usually in the form of a marking crayon (which in the trade is often called a "raddle") which carries the ram's colour code.

	The George Ortiz Collection
		The ram and his bearer are realized with considerable naturalness, but above all the bend of the animal's neck with its slight bulging on the underside expresses with infinite tenderness the apprehension of the ram because of his unnatural and somewhat uncomfortable position.
		The poise of the head with its one remaining antler conveys a humanistic understanding of an animal's sensitivity that I find deeply moving and particularly beautiful; it is, if I may use the expression, a dream object.
		The rhyton in the form of a deer's head, no. 154, was surely executed by a Greek influenced by the "Animal Style" of the Scythians and possibly produced for a Scythian prince.

		Bernal says that "Pan's derivation from Min would seem to be confirmed, not only by his great phallus, his association with the fertility of stock and his living in the wilderness and the negroid blackness with which he, like his attendant satyrs, was often portrayed" (Bernal 170).
