Police have asked an art gallery to turn around a sculpture of Buddha with comical genitalia, on the grounds that it upset passers-by.Police said they received a number of complaints from members of the public who saw the bronze statue - which shows a penis and testicles in the shape of a banana and eggs - on display in the window of the Saint Giles Street Gallery in Norwich.
Now gallery owner David Koppel has agreed to turn the sculpture - A Trilogy: The Iconoclasts, by artist Colin Self - so that the front cannot be seen from the street.
