What happens when some innovative soul looks past the history associated with these helmets and instead explores their potential as pieces of functional art? Well, in this case we get a styled 12th century helm trash can that we can toss our shit into. What other garbage collecting device can give your home a Middle Ages vibe and allow you to say “Here’s what I think of your f*cking Crusades!” with every condom wrapper and beer bottle you chuck into it?

The thing I like best about the “Merciless” Gargoyle Wall Sculpture is that it is subtle. Something than can blend in easily with the rest of your normal, everyday, non-gothic castle decor.
Seriously though, this amazingly detailed sculpture is the work of artist Gary Chang and accepts a standard 40-watt bulb.

The Latin inscription around the speculum mirror translates thusly: “all things must change, and we with them.” The woman gazes into the mirror only to find a horrifying vision of the future staring back at her. Unfortunately, the intensity of this work is lost in the shadow of two prominent buttcheeks.
