1877’s “The Customs” by Antonio Mancini (1852-1930), via soyouthinkyoucansee

Another large scale pagan-y sculpture for the season. Italian street artist Never2501 made this giant reclined figure out of all natural materials, with no tools or nails, etc. It’s awesome. Even if he won’t get up. Via archiemcphee:

This enormous supine beast is a wonderful sculpture created by Italian street artist Never2501. The massive, autumnal piece was constructed using dead trees and roots collected in the forest. No tools or nails were used in the creature’s assembly, all of the components were fit together organically.

Entitled In Cammino Per Trasformarsi Nell’istante Presente (“Moving to transform into the present”), this awesome sculpture can be found in the garden of the Museo Archeologico “Paolo Giovio” in Como, Italy.
