Rood screens and polite boys

An afternoon at the Burrell Collection with our delightful Australian cousins.  One of the younger ones wanted to know if a nude statue was male or female. We rather thought male, as that made it easier for a prankster to steal the vital part.  We had a giggle thinking of someone with a marble penis collecting hobby.  I planned to post an image of a ninth century rood screen, but frankly the art outside outshone the art inside.    I used to work near the Burrell and would walk in the park there on days when the arbitrary management system got a bit too much.  I love the building, but the glory of the artwork itself eludes me - Philistine that I am.
