Description:

Quetzalcóatl is the feathered serpentine deity of Mesoamerican religions of which artistic representations first made their appearance between 1400 and 400 B.C.E. This sculpture is quite controversial with many observers perceiving it as something a bit malodorous which you might find in a lavatory. To be fair Robert Graham's serpent was installed in 1994, long before the advent of digital emojis. Today the sculpture has made quite a comeback in the media because of its distinct appearance - but as the saying goes, there's no such thing as bad publicity!
