DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: This striking image of an enormous bull-bear hybrid with lolling tongue and enlarged phallus and scrotum is set against a sea of oil wells, with great fissures in the earth beneath its paws. Its exposed interior, like a diagram of cuts in a butcher’s shop, functions as a map of pronouncements, all based on reason or logic. 
Other objects in the image - three crows perched on its back, a naked baby on the ground between its legs, a man hanging from a tree lower left and a shooting star in the sky above -  make reference to Perry’s discovery of the fact that today’s financial traders still use the graphic systems and language employed by Japanese rice traders of the 16th century. Certain patterns have fanciful names such as ‘Hanging Man’, ‘Abandoned Baby’, ‘Three Black Crows’ and ‘Shooting Star’.
