4573. PHOTOGRAPHY. Hermes' firework maker on horseback, Singapore. Google Review 3 stars on statue.

27 Jan 2023. I am David Sing Kong Yuen. Three stars in my google review refer to the maintenance condition of the Hermes' statue in Liat Towers, Singapore.

I like the statue of Hermes' firework maker on horseback carrying two silk scarves. It is very difficult to get a sharp photo using hand held position.

This statue is said to be one of two installed in Hermes' stores worldwide. Two years ago, I took a photo of this statue. The horse was white and relatively clean. Today, the horse has much black and green fungus (see the photo).

I hope Hermes' management will scrub and clean the statue and paint the cap which had white spots (I had photoshopped off the spots). At one time, the Merlion was in a similar fungal infested state too, but nowadays, it appears well maintained.

May I wish Happy Chinese New Year to all the staff in the store.
