World Cow image

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I did some editing pertaining to The World Cow image. I did not put the image on the page, nor do I make any claims about its relevance. I found very little about the painting online, and don't know whether the artist deliberately alluded to the red cow of Chukat tradition; that would be worth looking into.
