Mystery donor sticks neck out to help care charity
Published: February 25, 2008
A MYSTERIOUS statue of a giraffe which turned up on the doorstep of a Golders Green organisation in the UK has raised hundreds of dollars for charity.
This bronze sculpture of a giraffe and her offspring was left at the offices of Jewish Care by a generous but anonymous member of the public.
Not knowing what to do with the 19-inch artwork, staff at the charity made some enquiries among art experts and found it was the work of well-known Zimbabwean-born sculptor Llewellyn Davies.
It has now gone under the hammer at Bonhams for almost $4,000 and the money raised from the sale will help Jewish Care continue its work with the elderly, infirm, refugees and holocaust survivors.
