Camelus Dromedarius (that’s one hump, not two), is the "ship of the desert." So important were camels to life and travels in the deserts of the Middle East that in the language of the Bedouin, the words for "camel" translate to "God’s gift." It seems fitting that a caravan of beasts so aptly named would have transported these gift-bearing wise men as they followed the star that foretold the birth of the messiah. Our particular camel was so valued by his owner that he was named for the great Persian king, Darius I and was the only camel in the train allowed to sleep in his owner’s tent. - JCC

ABOUT EMAILING FOR PRICE:
1. Once an item is "sold out" and only available thru "secondary" or "resale" sources, pricing can vary day by day or hour by hour as resales occur. In such instances, the prices you see on our website may represent the last of those items sold as opposed to today's price. That is why we often tell you to "email" for pricing. And that is why prices often change without notice.
2. We apologize that there are some artists who do not allow on-line listings of their prices.
In either event, when you email for pricing, you must include your phone number and location. We'll get back to you quickly.
If you are having difficulty using our "email for price" or "bid" forms, please call us or switch to another internet browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.)
