"La Sirene" in Bastia, by Gabriel Diana.

This mermaid sculpture was created by the Italian-French sculptor Gabriel Diana in 2002.

The mermaid is made in bronze, and is seated on a rock of raw marble, between two large propeller blades (from a propeller whose third blade was damaged in this harbor).

In a sense the mermaid is like the pearl in a half open oyster.  The sculpture is just over 8' tall.

She is a sister sculpture to the mermaid in Ile Rousse.
