Miami Centaur

Centaurs, according to Greek mythology, were said to be the offspring of Ixion, son of Ares, and a cloud (fancy that, how do you "make it" with a cloud?) In modern times, the centaur has reappeared in art and literature, especially in the genre of fantasy. Here, the artist, obviously a believer of astrology, named his work Sagitario. I don't know if the missing "T" in the name (as in Sagittarius) is by design, or it is a mis-spell. This object is in the Miami Dade College Kendall campus.
