Day 1057

Crotch full o’ wasps

November 21st, 2014



Here at the Queens Botanical Garden, there's no sign explaining what this statue is or who sculpted it. A garden employee told me its identity is kind of a mystery. He said the most common belief is that it's Icarus, but I think it looks like St. Michael. (The garden employee said he'd heard that theory as well.) Zoom out and you can see where the Satan-slaying instrument in his right hand would have been. If it is indeed St. Michael, this would be the second time we've seen the archangel stripped of his weapon.
