Do they dress them up on special occasions? The cloth looks to be in great shape (compared to the age of that moss-covered statue!). Great shot!

Ruthiebear from Titusville, NJ, United States

I noticed this in the background of yesterday's image and was curious about it. I wonder do they change the "clothes" occasionally? I like the angle of this photo. You have captured the detail and texture wonderfully. How about that flower in its hair?
