Public sculpture of "Ganesha" by Rick Davis

 IDAHO - The Kootenai County Constitution Party is urging Christians on its website to protest the artwork, calling it an "abomination" approved by the "godless group of individuals" who manage the city's public art program. The sculpture depicts Ganesha, a four-armed being with an elephant head. Created by Spokane artist Rick Davis, the statue is one of 14 being dedicated Friday throughout downtown Coeur d'Alene as part of a new public art program. [link]
