Fig Leaf

























Fig leaf from the plaster copy of Michelangelo's David in the Sculpture Galleries (Cast Courts) of the Victoria & Albert Museum, kept in a glass case on the rear of the statue's plinth, hence the reflection of me, so not a 'selfie' as such. 
The plaster copy of David was given to Queen Victoria by the grand duke of Tuscany, but she immediately donated it to the V&A.
