>"made of cloth."

I suspect that Denis Dutton's mail possibly opened another branch (what
about a Bad Labels Contest?).
Thus I MUST tell the list one of my favourites that could be seen in the
late Fifties in an Austrian museum:

A huge plaster portrait bust of the composer Hugo Wolf, size about 2 m.
The label: "Hugo Wolf, larger than life".
