King Canute.

Oamaru Whitestone Precinct.

Canute was a silly king
he should have got the sack
for trying to make the waves go back.

Not much fun in his life it seems.

Yes, a very silly king. Apparently he doesn't know that you are supposed to take the clam out of the shell before you try to eat it.

Oh my! He looks perplexed. V

Superb details and textures. v

Seems "history" has not been kind to him and neither has the artist.

the snippet of doggerel verse seems like bad press for a man who eventually controlled most of England...Canute was likely shrewder than the sculpture suggests..

I like the limerick too. V

Simple sculpture but it has a lot of interest. I like the limerick.
