Sherpa is the cat at Taliesin....

Some of the oriental artifacts collected by Frank Lloyd Wright.
There was a good story behind these if you happen to know it, please drop me a note.

Bryan, our tour guide quoted the poem below by Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892) that is inscribed on the back of the sculpture. She has seen better days. There is a good picture of the complete statue in 50 Favorite Furnishings by Frank Llloyd Wright.

"The Flower in the Crannied Wall"
Flower in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the crannies,
I hold you here, root and all, in my hand,
Little flower—but if I could understand
What you are, root and all, and all in all,
I should know what God and man is.

– Tennyson
