The statue was located on Tehama Street just off Third Street where the road had recently been converted to a pedestrian mall. Not all businesses had been occupied yet. The statue was well back from Third Street and not readily visible from the Third Street sidewalk.

The statue was just off the doorway into the new Convention Center Offices. Behind it was a bicycle rack. There was no placque describing the statue, but a new plaque had been recently budgeted.

The statue viewed from its right side from the point of view of the new Convention Center Offices.

Viewed from the back, the statue faced the Third Street sidewalk and beyond that the Moscone Convention Center.

A close up shot of the front torso. Just like the real Venus De Milo statue at the Louvre Museum , this torso was also missing its arms. But unlike the Venus De Milo this statue was also missing a head.

The waist of the statue showed where the rope was located. The rope looked real but was actually bronze.

The base of the statue seen from behind and off to its right. There was no mechanical indication of how the statue was mounted to its base.

The statue from the rear showing the rope from behind.

A detail closeup of the back between the shoulder blades. A wrinkle that resembled the digit 7 (US) or the digit 1 (Europe).
