Mark Zuckerberg reveals giant teal statue of wife Priscilla Chan in photo posted to Instagram

Posting a picture of the commissioned artwork on Instagram, the tech mogul said: "Bringing back the Roman tradition of making sculptures of your wife."

The statue shows a sculpted silver piece of material flowing behind the rendering of Ms Chan and appears to be in a garden.

His wife, philanthropist Priscilla Chan, is seen in the photo sipping out of a mug.

She commented on her husband's Instagram post, saying, "The more of me the better?" with a heart emoji.

The statue was created by Daniel Arsham, a New York artist whose work has appeared all over the world and can currently be seen in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in Wakefield.

The replies to Zuckerberg's post were largely positive, with one user commenting: "Wife guy level: Advanced."

"Husbands everywhere are shaking," said another.

"BRB [be right back]. My husband has some explaining to do," added a third.

When one user said it must have been a "fun" project, Zuckerberg replied: "Very fun."

Arsham frequently uses bronze in his work, which oxidises and turns the blue-green colour seen in Zuckerberg's statue - although he hasn't confirmed what material he used for Ms Chan's likeness.

Zuckerberg and Ms Chan have three children together and have been married since 2012.
