What’s an unlikely statue you’ve come across?

The Giles statue of a Daily Express cartoon in Ipswich surprised me.
Bruce Lee in Mostar, Bosnia, supposedly an attempt at finding a culturally neutral figure for the Bosnian and Croat communities post-conflict. Both sides were angry about it, vandalised, moved to a park.
The war of independence memorial in Roscommon, surrounded by fields, is surreal.
James Joyce in Pula, where he was English teacher to future Hungarian Nazi collaborator Miklos Horthy.
African Renaissance Monument in Senegal, built by a team from North Korea.

It is very big.
Always thought this statue in Dublin was Boudicca, it’s Queen Maeve apparently.

Tip: mention @twtextapp on a Twitter thread with the keyword “unroll” to get a link to it.
