My younger daughter picked today's topic. Centaurs! I'm really curious about the centaur who is shooting its own tail (on Georgian money). What's up with that?

I don't know why I find centaurs so intriguing. I didn't know both LaFarge and Sargent painted them!
But I adored the humorous "The Centaurs Nobody Respects". So very clever!
Once again, a most enjoyable post!
I really like the Disrespected Centaurs pieces, too. Very cool.
And I'm sure there's symbolic meaning in the centaur/dragon stamp...just don't know what it might be.
