The Bone Pickers

0.0 x 0.0

9.5” X 6.25” diameter Iron base, aluminum pedestal. bone fragment, vintage lineol figures Traditionally, bone pickers scavenged materials (rags, bones, and various metals) and survived on the proceeds of what they collected each day. The idiomatic expression, to pick a bone, on the other hand, has meant to quarrel or to dispute over something. These sheep have clearly picked all the meat off this bone, leaving only a bone of contention.
