A woman has been reunited with a sculpture she lost during a Jubilee street party more than one month ago. Joanne Coughlan, from Lawrence Grove in Henleaze, was left devastated when the sculpture she spent the 2020 lockdown creating was 'stolen' while at the party, which she had been attending with her neighbours during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee weekend.
The sculpture, which is really a male underwear mannequin covered in mosaic tiles, took Joanne more than 100 hours to mosaic and has great sentimental value to her. Fortunately, after a recent trip away, Joanne and her sculpture - which she lovingly refers to as 'Jack' - have now been reunited.
And it seems it wasn't stolen at all, but rather the result of a case of mistaken sculpture identity! Joanne told Bristol Live: "I got back from my holiday yesterday and he was home! I've only had a story second hand of his return - apparently someone visiting an elderly neighbour had thought it was theirs and took him in.
