Ermanno Nason - Statue of a man...

Looking to catch up, thought it might be another EB and suddenly remembered this beautiful glass statue by Ermanno Nason.  He is a famous Venetian (Murano) sculptor and this his equally famous statue of the trunk of a man, hand made in glass.  The glass is continually worked, in and out of the furnace in order to prevent excessive cooling (and thus cracking).  We bought this about 2 years ago at New Year in Venice.  Ermanno's story is told here .
