A Trio of Penguins

Sender: Anjok


Anjok sent this beautiful art card by an Estonian naive painter, Heiki Trolla @ Navitrolla, the last Navitrolla postcard in her possession. Thank you for sending it, Anjok. It is all the more special because of that!

"I don't go for fancy cars
For diamond rings
Or movie stars
I go for penguins
Oh Lord I go for penguins

Throw your money out the door
We'll just sit around
And watch it snow
I go for penguins
Oh Lord I go for penguins"


-Lyle Lovett, "Penguins"-

The Jewelled Sword of Offering was made for the Coronation of King George IV. (The Crown Jewels, UK)
