From the very first Expansion set of MTG artist proofs made available (as no artist proofs were made for Arabian Nights); Antiquities was released in early 1994.
This artist proof will be signed on the front by Anson. If you wish to personalize your artist proof collection or enhance your investment, you may choose to add custom artwork to the blank back side.
The artwork for this card has been explained by Anson as representing something like a scarecrow, placed at the entrance of the mine to discourage would-be thieves and pillagers from entering.
