This larger than life metal sculpture showed up at a neighborhood antique shop about a year ago. I must say, it stood out like a sore thumb. Every time I passed by, it made me think of Charlton Heston in the 1959 Oscar winning movie of Ben-Hur. I loved that movie.
Then, about 2 months ago, it disappeared. I actually was a little sad. Where did it go? About 20 miles down the road to another antique stop. *****

Have a blessed Memorial Day. And, please pray for our brave men & women who serve and have served in our great nation's armed forces.

Now that is Odd! And not the sort of thing you'd put on your bookshelf.
Diane,
That is a peculiar piece! I wonder who would ever buy it? Someone with lots of land and a Charlton Heston fan, that's who!
And I join you in being thankful for the men and women who sacrificed for our country~~
May your day be blessed. Love you!
Oh, I thought maybe someone had purchased it and taken it home for the living room.
that is fabulous!
hope you are doing swell, chica.

That is very odd, I thought it rather large to fit in someone's garden. At least you can still see it.
That certainly is odd!
What a great sculpture and it does make one think of Ben Hur!
My odd shot is HERE
Wow those are great love stuff like this
One would have to have a pretty big yard for that! Good catch!
I did my Memorial post on Sunday for today.
What a spectacular piece!!
We must be "neighbors". I have many shots of this piece as well when it resided in Sealy. My BF just informed me that it is no longer there though. I will miss it too. Let me know if you spot it somehere else!
