...tall, 13 tons. She's also naked. And eight months pregnant. Her legs are shrunken and twisted. She doesn't have any arms. Carved out of a single block of Italian marble, she's so white she almost glows. But not everyone has quite got used to the pregnant, armless sculpture that has taken up residence in one of London's most trafficked public spaces, near monuments to the likes of Lord Nelson and King George IV.

...more obvious way. Composed of stuffed, flesh colored stockings, her figures resemble homemade dolls, maybe even a variant of the voodoo doll or a reference to the fertility goddess, the Venus of Willendorf.
