Check out this beauty of a garden ornament on FB Marketplace. Brace yourself!

[Snooks1971]

I’m struggling for words. I think the back view is even better. Just why.....

🤣

It's appalling. I kind of want it.

Dear god that is awful!

£20 bargain! 😁😁😁

No thigh gap there 🤣🤣🤣

From a rational POV I think it would scare the actual birds away and thus defeat its purpose?

I’ve just zoomed in on the original image and they’ve forgotten to paint his other foot ‘flesh’ coloured 🤣🤣🤣

TWENTY QUID!!!

This could actually be quite useful. No matter how many times I tell her, I cannot get my greyhound to stop drinking out of the bird bath, probably because it’s just her height. Maybe if I had this she’d think twice about approaching it. Hmmm.....

The back view gives the impression the figure is sitting on a massive pile of poo.

It's certainly a beaut.

Looking again the face is somewhat reminiscent of the church wall painting of Jesus that was re-painted by a helpful parishioner.

@BronwenFrideswide I don’t mean to be blasphemous but I was thinking more of Damien (The Omen)

Interesting.

Had another look and you're right Snooks1971, even worse than the Jesus painting!

I wonder what it looked like before they painted it, for them to think that was an improvement

And how do they know it’s a boy?

It’s got one black foot

It's so bad, it's good, and I want it.

Clearly the work of this genius.

Bronwen my first thought was that 'restored' fresco.

Do you think they think they've upcycled it?

wowfudge I'd rather not know what they were thinking. It's just indescribably bad, I just can't see anyone standing back to admire their work and surmising "Yep, I've done an excellent job there"

and that goes for the fresco too, you have to know and accept your limitations!

Omg, this is amazing!

I've just screamed at this beauty, dh asked why. When I recovered in

I explained it was in shock at the sheer beauty of this piece.

Should come with a warning in the title op.

This looks like it's made of meat!
My DS (15) took one look and said "You can see the pain in its eyes..."
