Perhaps one of the most incredible sculptures in the world. It was created by an unknown French sculptor in the 19th century. It's kept in India's Salar Jung Museum.
The sculpture is known under the name "Double statue of Mephistopheles and Marguerite". The fact is that on one side of the statue is a male figure, and on the other - a female figure. Behind the sculpture there is a large mirror, so that you can see both figures and appreciate the skill of the author of this unusual creation. The sculpture is created from a single piece of the most ancient sycamore tree.

‘Bodily Study’ (2020) Artist: Matthew Angelo Harrison
Harrison’s “Bodily Studies” take the form of chairs or “thrones,” as the Detroit based artist calls them, made of resin and real zebra bone. The combination of materials – organic animal and petroleum-based acrylic – is oxymoronic, evoking both preservation and extinction. The carefully sliced skulls create beautiful patterns and phantom faces, a soul-stirring life after death. Representing the African savannah as well as the idiosyncrasies of evolutionary camouflage, the zebra’s black and white coat is replaced by a harmony of tinted resins.
