Estimate R 15 000 - 20 000
"A work of art of special significance is the large, powerful 'Vulture' which was originally sculpted in steatite and then cast in bronze six times. Here Dörte Berner's dramatic talent becomes evident. The vulture's sudden forward movement is stopped by the curved beak, the point of which is as sharp as needle and leads back to the great powerful body."1

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT COMMISSION BIDS?
Commission Bids are aligned with our bidding increments so should you enter a Commission Bid that is not a valid bidding increment for that lot it will automatically be reduced to the closest bidding increment.
For example:
A lot currently has a bid of R 2000, you are prepared to go to R 2500 so you enter a Commission Bid of R 2500. However, according to the table, R 2500 is not a valid bidding increment so your Commission Bid will automatically be reduced to R 2400.
