Strange indeed.
Like, "I'm all ears" [and nothing else]?

That's a really funky E find. Well done!

Is it just me, or is there a faint devil shape in the middle?

Very strange and magical photo. So what's the meaning behind the ears on the wall? Or will you write about that next?

How very odd. And note that they aren't quite the same! :)

I like the comment that magiceye said, even the walls have ears...very strange design. I really wonder what it means.

Unfortunately, I am clueless as to the meaning or destination of this sculpture. I looked, of course, but the museum had none to offer.

That's almost eerie. Do you think they might have been leftovers? :) Excellent post!

Excellent !
Cette oreille illustre-t-elle une maxime, une anecdote historique ou mythologique ?

E for ears, how clever : ).
I went to your other blog with the wine and cheese tasting and tried to comment there, but it wouldn't let me. Your night looked so fun and VERY delicious : ).
