Esther

The Book of Esther can almost be viewed as a chess match, complete with a king, queens, and various supporting players with the Jews and Persians being pitted against one another.

The piece below was my only venture into the world of sculpture. Each piece was molded in wax, encased in plaster of Paris, heated to melt out the wax, and then cast in epoxy. The mold was then destroyed and the resulting piece coated with a thin film of epoxy to increase its luster.  The Persian pieces were dyed with purple.  Where possible, archeological artifacts were used as models.
