Given that I took this furry photo over 3 years ago, it's funny how
appropriate it is:

Check out the nice polish on the wall street bull's sack. Either they
left the patina off intentionally or somebody's been touching it. A lot.

It's rubbed a lot, just like the Balto statue in Central Park.
See "handling the shining orbs" in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charging_Bull
and the article at the end about touching statues of generals in general.
The statue is by

Thinking ahead, I'll have to use that photo for my New Year card for

As it was I was immediately reminded of a picture of a bronze statue
of a girl in the Paris cemetery where Jim Morrison is buried. The whole
thing is covered with verdigris except for her nipples, which are shined
up the same way.
