Caped Cow Skull Curiosity

horned statues in Prague

We discovered these statues in a rear storage area of the Vystaviste Exhibition Grounds.  They very vaguely ring a bell in the back of my skull so I am quite curious as to the symbolism.  I don’t think I have seen anything similar in ancient art so it must be science fiction, Harry Potter or what?  Please email or contact on Facebook if you know who did these or for what purpose.  Cheers.

Update 22 Mar 2012:  Thanks to Richard Pokorny on Quora who confirmed that these are minotaurs created by students at the Academy of Art located near Vystaviste.  Minotaurs are an ancient Greek legend; I should have known that.

Large bird and minotaur in Prague, spooky

Too bad the bird wasn’t a Raven; then we would have an award winning photo.
