Nei a wel an whel-ober, moy sevür, gravyoryon a ven war lies men co.  (Ma losow saw nag eus bestes.) 



Craftsmen are mentioned in the Holy Bible. In Exodus is written "He has filled them with wisdom to do every work made by the engraver, or by designer, or by the embroiderer in blue and purple and red thread in fine-spun linen, or by the weaver." There are carpenters in the Bible as well. Noah made his vessel out of wood. It's a favourite subject with artists throughout the centuries. A model of Noah's Ark - with all the animals - was allowed as a "Sunday toy" in religious families. Many of them were made of wood (or perhaps of tin).  We see the, more serious, efforts of stone engravers on many memorials. (There are plants but no animals.)
