I don’t think it’s a bad statue, but it does give me a giggle every time I see it for other reasons (NSFW).

That horse must've been a Confederate General.

Are we absolutely sure they didn't just switch the face with the penis?

No, that's an anteater.

That's the most extraordinary example yet. How do you even locate these, uh, remarkable examples of craftsmanship?

I’m responsible only for this one, I saw the other posts and hopped on the bandwagon :) This statue is at the Getty Museum, and I had a pic from a while back on my phone and ready to go when I saw we were doing funky horse statues, haha

It’s just super stylized! If you look closely you can see one little eye dot, it’s so goofy but I kind of love it.
