Intense and alert, Diana rests as her dogs remain vigilant. Sculpted in walnut, a remarkable scene carved from two planks of wood 90+ years ago by artist M Schneider in Stockton CA.
The story is that it was purchased in the 20's from the artist in Stockton CA and installed as a "back bar" in my father's bar in Bryte CA.
