Winter Shadows Collection -- "Icy Dawn" -- by by artist Persis Clation Weirs. Eighth and final issue in the series. Bradford Exchange 1995. Plate size approx 8.8 by 6.5 oval shaped. Suggested Retail $60.00
The wolves have run through the dark night almost without pause—through forests, across meadows. Now, as dawn brightens the crusty snow beneath their feet, they arrive at the edge of a stream and beyond it see—the caribou herd!
Vanguard of the pack, they will signal those that follow to group and wait while they study the situation. Wolves are master hunters and they know better than to simply rush at their prey.
Instead they will settle at vantage points, watching carefully, for days if necessary. What do they seek? The weak. The sick. The foolish stray. The wise hunter does not attack the strong.
Once the prey is selected, two or more of the pack will move forward to cut it off from the herd. This is to forestall any possible rescue attempt. (Rare for caribou, but muskoxen will form a circle around a threatened herd member, sharp horns facing out, and no wolf would dare to attack.)
The day won, the wolves will eat their fill, then carry food hack to their family pack. The carcass is left for the ravens, who now collect their "fee" for signaling the wolves that the herd was near.
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.
