Jan Žižka z Trocnova - A statue in front of the entrance to the military high school in Moravská Třebová. In the past, there was a military grammar school here, which I attended from 1971 to 1975. On Saturday, we gathered to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our graduation.

Naxos has many marble quarries. There are unfinished statues at two of them. This is Kouros of Apollo

Kouros of Melanes

Near the northern-most cargo docks which supply our islands to the south.

I've no idea what it's supposed to represent.
Any guesses, please write them on a postcard, and then stick it on your own 'fridge with a magnet.


Cheers for now,
Simon

I agree...
But then again, in recent years, "art" is just what an "artist" can convince people to buy.

This statue is slightly freaky to be fair. What is it representing?
