A friend from work brought me a couple of pewter pieces to make some repairs to, and then paint.

The first piece is called “The Book of Spells”, s/n 3004, produced by WAPW, in the UK.  The sculptors name is on the bottom, it looks to be Roger ? but I’ve not been able to figure out the last name, and haven’t found any reference to it in my searches thus far.  As you can see from the picture, one of the hands are missing.  The original sculpt had a plate, with a crystal on it.  I’m going to try to sculpt a new hand for it.
