Marble sculpture (2) Nativity scene
Another detail from the solid marble sculpture on the north side of Vauxhall Bridge in London facing MI6. The sculpture - a solid block of marble with no representative shape - is lovely in itself but the stories hidden in the fine detail of the marble bowl me over.
I was originally going to call this Gateway to Hades but that was a distraction. It is clearly a Nativity scene with the participants kneeling on the right.
