Spotted: Mailbox or sculpture?

There are instances when the only conclusion is “there must be a story here.” Such is the case of this mailbox posing as a bronze sculpture (or is it visa versa?) spotted on Creek Drive in Menlo Park. Unique mailboxes are not uncommon in Menlo – we’ve spotted a cow and a taste for modernism. But this latest find  is currently the undisputed winner of the most distinctive. Side note: an internet search on bronze statue mailboxes returns a slew of examples. Who knew?
