A 10-foot-tall, 20-foot-wide bowler hat sculpture weighing nearly two tons, made of steel, wood, fiberglass, epoxy, and foam. Designed by Keith Turman and commissioned by British furniture brand Timothy Oulton as a real-life version of the company's bowler-hat logo, originally intended to sit atop Oulton's Dallas store. After that store closed, the sculpture was installed in 2013 as a freestanding roadside landmark in the 1500 block of Griffin Street, the Cedars neighborhood of Dallas, between Ervay and Browder streets.
