My wife likes lighthouses. One year I bought her a replica rendition of the Colossus of Rhodes that stands about 8” high from a local Hallmark store.
It’s one of the cooler pieces she has.

Apparently this ancient statue was the inspiration for some big similar colossus in “Game of Thrones”, and I suspect the Argonath in the books and movies of Lord of the Rings.
