“Cupid and Psyche at the fountain of eternal youth” by English artist Frank O. Salisbury (1874-1962).
This 14th century archangel Gabriel in the V&A museum has two scars where their wings used to be, and that always makes me feel some kind of way.
Via Wikipedia:
The Kelpies are 30-metre high horse-head sculptures, standing next to a new extension to the Forth and Clyde Canal, and near River Carron, in The Helix, a new parkland project built to connect 16 communities in the Falkirk Council Area, Scotland. The sculptures were designed by sculptor Andy Scott and were completed in October 2013. The sculptures form a gateway at the eastern entrance to the Forth and Clyde canal, and the new canal extension built as part of The Helix land transformation project. The Kelpies are a monument to horse powered heritage across Scotland.
This strikes me as a Really Bad Idea.

Seriously, until these have actually eaten someone, Bluecifer is still ahead.
yeah, Bluecifer was my first thought too
