Some Strangest Sculptures of the World

1.  Merlion Statue

(Singapore)

The Merlion Statue at Merlion Park is one of the best recognised icons of Singapore. It was designed by Fraser Brunner for the Singapore Tourism Board in 1964, and was used as its logo until 1997. It is a statue of a lion head with a fish body resting on a bed of waves. It is 8.6 meters tall and weighs 70 tonnes. The statue was built by the late Singapore craftsman, Lim Nang Seng. Mr Lim used broken porcelain plates to make the skin, and for the eyes, he used small red teacups, in a way, incorporating a bit of chien nien technique usually employed in temple roof designs into a modern sculpture.
