Mary on the half shell

A lawn decoration consisting of a statue of the virgin Mary inside a half-buried bathtub painted sky blue inside. Also known as a bathtub Madonna it is a miniature shrine displaying the owner's devotion to the virgin Mary. While not as bad as a pink flamingo, it is considered by some to be some to be an icon of poor taste.
The new neighbors must be Catholic, they planted a Mary on the half shell on the lawn.
