Huh?

I've been passing by this sculpture for almost two years now. It's in front of a townhouse on a moderately busy street. I'm fairly certain that the building changed hands about a year ago. Shortly after, the mailbox was mounted on her head. I can only guess that it was meant as a commentary or a joke.

Huh is very appropriate as is how bizarre and how did I miss this as I roamed through that neighbourhood. What is it made out of ... do you know? It sort of reminds me of one of those figurehead thingies from the front (prow??) of a ship. Gahhh, weirdness!

I hope it's just a bad joke. Otherwise it would be bad taste...

Sharon: I believe that it's solid granite and from a rough calculation it must be about 800lbs. Yes, very weird.

Christian: I hope too that it's a bad joke.

(p.s. that's the right link -- you have to watch the "threw it on the ground" thing to get to the porcelain fountains. both are worth it.)

LOL. Yeah it would be even more bizarre if a fountain was installed coming out of her mouth. Though that would be better than the mailbox.
