Wonderful and rather massive sculpture depicting two turtles carrying time on their backs. I totally forgot to check the artist and title on these, please fill them in if you know!

This 19th Century Bronze figure is of milo of Croton, A legendary Olympic athlete renowned for his great strength, who lived at Croton, a greek settlement in Southern Italy, in the 6th Century BC.
The story goes that on seeing an oak tree partly split open with a wedge he tried to wrench it apart, but only succeeded in causing the wedge to fall out, thereby trapping his hands. He was left helpless prey to the wild beasts which soon devoured him.
This piece was donated by the Friends Of Hollan Park in July 2003.
