The Wooden Goat

David, this is a very good drawing (in my humble opinion) and I thank you for re-posting it!  The color, design and texture are all aesthetically pleasing; and the execution is admirable.

Forgive my ignorance, but I don't know what the symbol beneath the goat means; and if it's supposed to be a mystery, then let it remain so.  Are those Cyrillic-looking words Russian or Sakha?  I'm ignorant of their meaning as well, but no matter:  The overall impression is what matters; and it's a good one.
