An anthropomorphic bronze doe in a rather suggestive come hither pose along the bank of the Scioto River. This is the work of artist and country singer Terry Allen. The idea came to him after learning that Scioto is from the Shawnee American Indian word for “hairy water.” Shawnee Indians named the river after migrating from the Carolinas to find deer hair floating in the river.
