The likeness of Melania Trump has been carved in wood in her native Slovenia.
A life-size sculpture of the US first lady has been unveiled in her hometown of Sevnica, drawing mixed reactions from the locals.
The rustic figure was cut from the trunk of a linden tree, showing her in a pale blue dress like the one she wore at Donald Trump's presidential inauguration.
Her face is depicted in a naive local style.
It is the work of American artist Brad Downey, who is also showing photos of the statue in an exhibition in the Slovenian capital, Ljubljana.
"This seems a very interesting thing to show to the people," curator of the exhibition Jani Pirnat said.
"It expresses the topic that is somehow hanging in the air."
