C.S. Lewis statue

Does anyone know where one might find a statue of C.S. Lewis comparable to might be found? I have an extra shelf on my bookshelf that my violin is currently occupying. I thought a decent literary icon statue would look really good there. And one of C.S. Lewis would be awesome, since my library consist of more books by him than by any other author. Comparable dimensions, but I am flexible in regards the pose. I do not prefer a bust.

If I cannot find one, I'll probably buy the Shakespeare statue in the link above.

heh, that may be just a tad too large for a bookshelf, Bill :)

You can, or at least could, buy copies of the Lewis bust that's in the Wade Center at Wheaton College, but they're also a bit too large for a shelf. Plus they used to go for US$8000, so out of my price range anyway...

What I'd like to have is an "Aslan", the . Here's a pic of Neil Gaman's Aslan:

Hmmm. Looks a lot like Patience or Fortitude outside the New York Public Library:

Edited to add: you can buy them as bookends
