Superlambanana, Public sculpture in Liverpool, England

The yellow concrete and fibreglass structure measures 5.2 meters in height and combines the forms of a lamb and a banana in one creation.

Japanese artist Taro Chiezo designed this sculpture for the 1998 ArtTransPennine Exhibition to establish an art passage through Northern England.

The sculpture references Liverpool's maritime trade history, as both bananas and sheep were frequent cargo items in the city's docks.

Located outside Liverpool John Moores University's Avril Robarts Library, the sculpture stands at coordinates 53.4109157, -2.9881767.

In 2008, Liverpool displayed 125 miniature versions across the region, which were later sold at auction for an average of 7,800 pounds each.
