Your pic's captioned a
"Seated Dignitary" but
his naughty bits show.

Has any culture
had a ruling that showed,
routinely, their junk?

That pic looks to me
like a statue of a guy
doing number two.

In spite of the “junk,” from an aesthetic perspective, I think there is a certain elegance and modernity about the lines of that statute.
