Saturday Statuary - Happy Face

Norwich Cathedral again … This time it's a statue of a woman wondering how she managed to put on her shawl and trap her arm in it.

I like her! She's obviously a lot more recent addition than the little alcove she is standing in...

It is hard to wrap a shawl especially when you are a statue!

Petrea Burchard said...

The style of the statue is strikingly modern, juxtaposed with the Gothic-looking niche.

Speedway said...

Her pose and luck are strikingly similar to a photo in the current issue of a fashion magazine, in which the model has a rectangle of blue fabric wrapped around her right arm and chest, much like a sling. it's definitely a WTF look.

Speedway said...

"Look" dammit.

1930s to 1080s, Kate. Quite the difference.

She looks like she agrees with you, Mum.

I love that jarring contrast in styles and stone, Petrea, even though she's still got her arm stuck, poor thing.

Definitely a WTF luck, Speedway. Great typo.

Maybe it's a kind of tourniquet. And her arm is going to sleep....
