Ahhh alright, gotcha! I'm a big lurker on reddit, but not a massive poster so I'm not exactly a pro when it comes to postning etiquette. Will check the rules though, thank you!

Oh, really? That's a bummer, I really liked this photo and I wanted people to see it. Yeah I mentioned an account but never linked to it. No clue why it would be removed. This usually happen on this sub? Never posted here before.

Definitely true, and I say that as someone who used to be a bit of an iconoclast in my teens and who now looks back on that boy with shame and disappointment.

When you say it like that, I'm reminded of the Great Old Ones and their sculptures and bas reliefs depicting their decapitated peers whose heads had been bitten off and feasted on by the Shoggoths.

I spoke to a man at the cemetery - a local who was walking his dog - who told me that this likely wasn't the handiwork of a student, but rather of one of the several homeless people who sometimes sleep on the overturned tombstones of several graves. I don't know if he was telling the truth or if it was just pure speculation, but apparently, the cemetery is "a notorious haunt for drug users and rough sleepers". While I don't condone vandalism, I can't help but think that whoever did it created a piece of iconoclastic art, intentionally or otherwise

Not just the head, but the fingers too. I took another picture up close that shows all her fingers except the thumb all gone, crudely sawn-off

I did some research and found who the statue was dedicated too, a woman from the 1800's. Let me know if anyone wants the backstory!

That's what really got me, the fact that it seemed so fresh
