The great arctic wolf pauses in his patient vigil. His hypnotic golden eyes shine in the moonlight as his alert ears catch an unfamiliar sound. So silvery white is his thick mantle of fur that he is all hut invisible amidst the endless snow.

It is his responsibility this night to join in the guarding of his family pack's territory. And the sound he hears worries him. Ile knows it is not a rival pack, but what is it? He must know, for the safety of his pack depends upon it.

For centuries, wolves have been feared and revered in turn. But these noble creatures are concerned mainly with survival. They are sensitive and intelligent, loyal and cooperative with family members, playful and affectionate with their young.

Life is hard in the Arctic, but the wolf is superbly adapted to the cold and harsh conditions. With hunting skills that primitive man admired and imitated, the wolf has survived and increased in number. His only real enemy is man.

In "Arctic Nights," Plate Three in her Mystic Spirit series of wolf portraits, Vivi Crandall once more brings us a stunning close-up view of this fascinating wild creature.

The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
