Walla Walla, Washington is home to the studios of Nano Lopez, a sculptor born in Bogota, Columbia.

Lopez has created a series of sculptures that he calls Nanimals and describes them as:

One of the Nanimals that Lopez has created is called Sherlock, "a well weathered Welch terrier. He's extremely experienced in the art of finding things, that's why for many years now he's been working as a detective. Sherlock refuses to give up his pipe, doesn't mind rainy weather or cats, and he used to be a part of the K9 units, and on Saturdays he just goes fishing."

In 2009, Lopez created a bronze collector "coin" featuring his Sherlock design and this is pictured at the top of this post.

76 mm (3 inches), Bronze, Round

If you are interested in purchasing one of these collector "coins," it will set you back three figures. According to the gallery's website, you have to have a minimum purchase of either $12,500 or $2,500 (it's a little confusing) before you can buy one of these medals.
