Catalog No. 1455
Pottery, figural, 0.5L.
Text:
�Es ist besser mit Katern, Affen u. B�ren,
als allzeit mit Ochsen u. Eseln zu verkehren.�
(It is better with tomcats, monkeys and bears,
than to operate all the time with oxen and donkeys.)
Translated without the animal symbolism, the message of the saying is that: �It is better to be a drinker and contend with the hangovers than to work hard all the time.� The bear in this case represents a hangover, as in �wrestling with a bear�.
Price Range: $400-$550
