Herm
Well, not really, just a herm like statue that won't affront Murkin sensibilities.

But it's might' purty.

1. No pixie dust
:shrug:

I have a pretty vivid imagination, but I'm failing here a bit.

2. Greek herms
were sacred/legal property markers featuring a male bust
and an impressive phallus below on the column.

The neutered version was very popular in the Victorian era, and many featured women's busts.

3. Still waiting for a photo?
Or was this just a general statement about these things? I'm confused.

6. Love that stark white against all that color

Too bad about the PC version of Hermes, though.

5. Here's a real Herm:


This one is in the Kallimarmarou Stadium, the "Stadium of Beautiful Marble" that was built in Athens for the original modern Olympic Games in 1896. It was built over the site of the ancient Panathenaic Stadium, where the Panathenaic Games were held.
