Buck Head

One of my favorite local sculptures, this grouping is called, "The Storyteller" (created by artist Frank Flemming in 1998).  It is found in Buckhead, an Atlanta neighborhood.

A man with a deer's head and hooves, holding a lamp post, tells a riveting story to an audience of wild animals in a wide circular space.

In the early 1800's, this site was the location of Henry Irby's store and tavern at the intersection of two Indian trails. Mr. Irby nailed a deer head to his establishment, which later earned Irbyville the name "Buck Head."
