You mean the lady on top was not as challenging as the camel? She is just
amazing all covered in tiny plates. (Having seen some of your other sculptures I
recall you are pretty good at that.) The back of her head is incredible the way

The camel: Big chomping square gums, floppy lip, weird bony things.
Sufficiently weird around the head to be, unmistakably, as weird as a camel. (I
have only once inspected a camel.)
This is an incredible sculpture.
