Orc Ear



The orc ear measures 3-1/4" from tip to lobe; it's 1-3/4" wide at its widest point. The tiny cracks you see in the pics are in the clay and were from when he made it; this piece has never been damaged or broken. The hole in the back on the ear is where it had been torn out of the orc's head. It's unsigned (unless the little circle on the tip of the ear on the back was intended as a signature), but I'm sure it's Jim's work because he gave it to me personally. I have seen other orc ear's with an earring; this particular one doesn't have one, nor a hole for one.

Added Information:

I had also received the orc/goblins ear from Jim without earing. He told me it's for secrets. If you spoke your secret into it, it would always be safe.

Made by Rumph at his Slyme Factory in Santa Monica, Ca. in 1974. I got it from him directly. It has the hole at the top to wear as a necklace. It is signed "Rumph" and has the date "74".

My ear is white, and it had two holes; one in the lobe for an earring, and a small one at the top possibly for looping a cord to wear around the neck. The tiny hole at the top is obviously intentional as you can see the larger mark on the back.
