These bronze pig statues located in a small town in Germany called Hagen am Teutoburger Wald (Hagen by the Teutoburg Forest) are actually a bit of a tourist attraction. Near those pig statues you can also find the statue of a pig dealer, of whom I'll also post photos soon. There's also a statue of a drummer, however, I've yet to take a photo of him.

This set of statues is meant to symbolize the Hagener Ferkelmarkt (pig market), which concludes the Hagener Kirmes, an event comparable to a funfair.

Hera's statuette is accompanied by a bronze peacock.

Some details from the statue of Triumphant Achilles in Achillion (Corfu, Greece)

For starters I love the detail that his sword is not tied to his waist but rather that the belt goes around his back so the sword hangs from his side to his hip

You can also see the battle scenes engraved to his thorax or protective snakes at the back. Next we have his shield

The classic gorgoneion for protection and casting off evil with the usual archaic Medusa with the protruding tongue and sharp teeth as well as tangled snakes forming a bow beneath her chin but I think one of my favorite details is on his helmet.

His helmet forms a swan's neck bowing and forming the arch. Swans are some of the creatures on earth that sometimes are monogamous and sometimes even mate for life.

The term "Κύκνειο Άσμα" ("Swan Song") is used in Greek to signify someone's last cry before the end or the last action before the end (remember me paraphrasing it for my story here)

Swans have also been reported to have died of broken heart before.

The bird itself is associated with beauty, grace and purity and somehow I think the connection with Achilles on his triumphant pose fits greatly!
