Cheryl: Thank you for your kind updates - and especially for the kindness that you are able to give Alan is his great time of need. May the blessings that he receives from you and others come back to each of you tenfold.

I think the seller is describing a different marble - because that description sure doesn't fit the pictured piece.
Some of my favorite artists in no particular order:
Bill Murray:
Rolf & Genie Wald:
Francis Coupal:
Richard Clark:
Gerry Coleman:
Mark Matthews:
Geoff Beetem:
JH Miller:
Lundberg Studios:
Kris Parke:
They both are missing a lot/darn near all of the interior structures - not to mention containing seemingly none of the original marbles. Just my opinion - but they look like train wrecks to me.
