The little Merman. "Han" has been nicknamed 'The Little Merman' because of its obvious reinterpretation of Edvard Eriksen's iconic "Little Mermaid" statue. The shiny surface of the sculpture reflects its surroundings: the spires of 'Hamlet's' Kronborg Castle, the great ferries and old wooden boats. And as onlookers, we are also mirrored. In fact, viewers cannot look at "Han", without seeing their own image. But the 'femininity' of the naked man's seated position provoked heated local debate. Local residents claimed that placing an effeminate, slender boy in front of the former shipyard was an insult to the former dockworkers. But its interpretation of masculinity is precisely one of the work's main concepts. "Han" is a contemporary take on presenting the male image: man not only as a conquering hero, but also as a sensitive and thinking individual.

Carvings from the pew ends in the Church of the Holy Ghost, Crowcombe ,Somerset. Dating from 1535, they are some of the best church carvings I have ever seen.
So I finished all the parts for my bjd Allan mermaid doll. The hardest part was definitely doing those hands cuz despite my hardest attempted theyre still kind of too big. But test stringing them with hair elastics they fit pretty well onto the arms and poses just as good as my decent single jointed dolls.
The tail isn’t great but it’s serviceable for what I want in a mermaid BJD.
The next part is tracking down the elastic and making teeny tiny s hooks.

~1480. Remnant: Merman holding a stone, and mermaid combing her hair and holding a looking-glass (damaged).
I had read about the underwater sculpture in our walks guide and was made up to spot it before Dennis - in fact I suspect we both would have missed had I not seen it! It is located in the canal by the Højbro bridge.

"Agnete was a young peasant girl who was walking by the shore as a merman emerged from the waves and offered her his hand. Agnete fell in love with him immediately and went to the bottom of the sea with him, where she gave birth to his seven sons. After eight years, however, as she was sitting by the crib of her youngest son, Agnete heard the sound of churchbells ringing from her old village, and she felt homesick. She got permission from the merman to go to church, on the one condition that she would come back to him after mass. But of course, once on land again, Agnete found that she missed the church and her family too much, and she wouldn’t return."
