“Tree Man,” £44.99 ($72)
The good people at Lenin Imports have hit on a marvelous idea that will spruce up any office cubicle, foyer, dormitory room, or prison cell. For a nominal sum you can adorn your drab living space with a figurine painstakingly reproduced from the masterpieces of Netherlandish painter Hieronymus Bosch, including such imaginative hellscapes as The Garden of Earthly Delights, The Last Judgment, and The Temptation of St. Anthony.
Most of the statuettes are about four inches tall, and most are priced at £44.99 ($72), but they vary a little bit according to size and complexity; one especially large one is priced at £144.99 ($235). If you’re looking for a bargain, note that “Ears with Knife” from The Garden of Earthly Delights is a steal at a paltry £29.99 ($50).
Prices “exclude postage and packaging.”
I’ve selected some of the more awe-inspiring figurines for you to peruse, but there are plenty more at the Lenin Imports website.
“Blue Flutist,” £44.99 ($72)
“Ears with Knife,” £29.99 ($50)
“Devil on Night Chair,” £44.99 ($72)
“Bird with Castle Body,” £44.99 ($72)
Thank you Michael Vanderbilt!
