Sergio Bustamante's Dolphin Hatchlings

Dolphins are marine mammals, of course, so they aren't born from eggs, but we'll have to allow Sergio Bustamante some artistic license here. In our home, we have a wonderful sculpture of his showing three colorful toucans. While these birds can be expected to hatch from eggs in the real world, he has them emerging from cracks in a mushroom, which is at the very least an equally fanciful idea.

Sergio Bustamante, Four Dolphins Emerging from an Egg, eBay Item Description, March 7, 2013

It occurs to me that there was no need to have a total of eleven bids when the eBay seller had made it perfectly plain that the reserve price was set at $500 and that this reserve was the actual selling price. I suppose there was only one serious bid, with the others either using their bids to track the auction or else to show some interest in the event the item didn't sell.
