OK, thank you.
It's a great idea of course. Stevex is the master of that collecting pursuit on this forum. Are there any animals he doesn't have?
It's an Arabian provincial. Camels are are not common at all. There's another type of Trajan's I intend to collect: Arabia standing with a camel...

Nonsense. It's a perfectly lovely specimen.
An excellent example, Steve! Well-done! I understand the frustration of waiting. A lot of the stuff that interests me comes from various Middle...
