Tacca: Good Luck
Tacca: Good Luck
Okay, technically a statue so I'm still stretching! info below found on their website at www.butchartgardens.com
The boar is a rare bronze copy of a casting of the marble statue displayed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. This bronze known affectionally as "Tacca," in honour of Pietro Tacca, the artist who created the statue in 1620. His snout is finely burnished by thousands of visitors who give it an affectionate rub for good luck.

Never seen a boar dressed as Santa. What a fun find. Like the top photo the best.
