Featured Bison carving, diamonds, gold

It is ruby, just not the gem category
Yours seems carved citrine, as @Bronwen said!

 

Ha! I just commented same before swing your answer!

 

Oh my that is some gorgeous stuff !

 

except taste.

 

Always nice to be backed up by another gem lover.

 

Have a little Kusturd .... https://greyartgallery.nyu.edu/2017/07/artwork-spotlight-mark-mothersbaughs-ruby-kusturd/

 

or buy things in cruise ship gift shops

 

Or Thomas Kinkade paintings .....of course , this is JMHO....... however , if I found this at the resale shop I might buy it for resale ...unlike a Thomas Kinkade painting.....lol

 

Kinkade. Urg. Or any other cruise "art".

 

OMG Had no idea MM was doing anything like that now. I have a gallery bought really weird altered photograph of his from years ago.

 

Not Kinkade IMO although I’d go w that now off the sculpture. He’s been making art for decades although first and foremost he was a rock god (not to me) Mark was the lead of Devo. MM was doing great photography beside his music. I still love mine but I collect weird, low brow and outsider.

 

Sorry not sure why it posted sideways. It’s titled Baby Hef Hudson Valley. Anyway it’s a handcolored altered photograph. I call it Alien Baby lol. Would you ever guess that was the same artist? I’m pretty shocked.

 

Looks like an "anamorphose", a specially shaped mirror placed at the right place perpendicular should show a non distorted image of a cute baby

Exactly, only posted as the artist is not a “cruise ship” artist and I had to respond to the comparison to Kinkaide.
