The acrobat is doing a handstand on the back of a crocodile, with his head turned back so far that he and the crocodile are facing the same direction. He is extremely muscular, so he might survive this.

For the last #BumDayMonday in #MerMay we enjoy another #mermaid bum, the Panagia Gorgona monument in Kini on the island of Syros, Greece.

Roman relief of a triton with two tails that split below the buttocks into long, snake-like tails. He is fighting with a bull.
Today we have a male merbum for #BumDayMonday from a Roman relief. Some bull fighting is going on but this two-tailed triton seems to hold his ground! Or rather waves? #Italy keeps on giving 😌

Photograph of a mermaid sculpture shown from behind. She sits upright and has large buttocks, the fishtail only starting below the bum, as is the case in some historical art.
It's #BumDayMonday! And what better way to start into a new week than with some big #mermaid bum?
The statue was created by students at the Luigi Rosso art school in Monopoli in Southern #Italy, a “tribute to the great majority of women who are curvy”.
🎶 Bottoms are better, down where it's wetter, take it from meee 🎶

#OTD the ancient Athenian #Dionysia would have started, a week-long celebration in honour of #Dionysos with lots of drinking and #theatre productions 🎭
As it's also #BumDayMonday, I'm starting the Dionysia off with Dionysian bum cheeks.
#HelPol #HellenicPolytheism #CityDionysia
Marble sculpture group of Mars and Venus seen from reverse. Venus has a long himation around her hips but Mars displays his toned buttocks with pride.
Can I make your #Monday a little sweeter with some hot Mars buns?
