The Wieringer shrimp fishermen Mike Bakker, Victor Ayal and Thijs ten Bokkel found the statue in their nets off the coast of the Texel village of Oudeschild. They named their find “Barry.” ,,We thought that was more fun than Henk or Ingrid”, Ayal said on August 4, when he returned to the harbor of Den Oever.
Head of fished-up wooden statue Barry may be a lion-man: ‘A bowl of half-man and half-lion’
