A statue of Ed Sheeran reimagined as a pig has sold for £6,200 at auction

A pig-shaped ceramic statue of Ed Sheeran — appar­ently known as Ed Sheer-ham — has been sold at auction for £6,200.

Please do allow your eyes to drift downward because the pho­to­graph that follows this paragraph is really quite spectacular.

The statue was initially part of an art trail in Ipswich and was among 39 sculp­tures up for sale. Others included one made to look like David Bowie (Piggy Stardust, sold for £2,600) and another made to look like Elvis (Elvis Porksley, sold for £2,800).

But the biggest success of the night was a ceramic-inspired design, Ipswich Blue, which fetched £6,500.

In total, the auction, raised £152,550 for the town's St Elizabeth Hospice, so well done everyone involved.
