It is a big round statue with 2 discs sort of together. I was trying to get something more interesting as a photo than just a picture showing the whole piece.
The naked consumerism for many of the Christmas decorations was amazing to me. The center of the Galleria had a tree piramid made up of shiny Gucci bags.
(An aside, as we were leaving town some activists threw fake blood on them and glued themselves t0 the display.)
