This incredible Anri wood carved statue is of the Willaims Collge Ephs mascot purple cow*. It stands about 3.5" tall. There is a chip on one foot- but it stands perfectly on its own. It displays beautifully and is one of the most unusual mascots of any college.

The Williams college mascot is a purple cow. The mascot's name, Ephelia, was submitted in a radio contest in October 1952 by Theodore W. Friend, a senior at Williams.^] The origins of the cow mascot are unknown, but one possibility is that it was inspired by the Purple Cow humor magazine, a student publication begun in 1907, which used the college color along with a cow.
