Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg made headlines on Wednesday by sharing a photo of his wife, Priscilla Chan, beside a striking silver and blue statue sculpted in her likeness, BBC reported.

The sculpture is 7-feet tall (2. 1 meters) and was ordered by Zuckerberg remarking on the Roman culture of having sculptures of your wife.

The statue as designed by the New York-based artist Daniel Arsham, is located near what seems to be a suburban yard under a tree. As soon as it appeared online, people began drawing parallels between the speaker and characters from Avatar and joking about Zuckerberg and his ‘wife guy’ antics.

In the picture, Chan is drinking from the mug that has the shade of the light blue of the statue. She was also ecstatic, she commented on her husband’s Instagram with a photograph of a naked woman with her private part fully opened and captioned it ‘the more of me the better?’ with an emoticon.

This is because the sculpted silver garment seems to ripple at the back of the teal-coloured figure. As per the National Museums Liverpool, the primary purpose of the ancient Roman statues was to pay tribute to the dear ones, who had died, or to draw everyone’s attention to the vitally important kinsfolk and establish relationships. The couple, Zuckerberg and Chan, have been married since 2012, and have three daughters together.
