Carving on the Compost Heap

This in a corner of The Lyde Garden, a beautiful water garden set round a group of springs in a hollow at the source of the River Lyde. Damp and decay have taken their toll on this wooden carving, which has rotted away at the base and been unceremoniously thrown on the tip. Lying like this it looks like a sort of creepy grasshopper thing, but I think it originally was upright as a sort of tree sculpture.
