World-famous street artist Banksy confirmed his latest work in an Instagram post on Monday.
The work depicts a goat standing on a ledge while stones fall beneath its feet and is painted on the side of a building in the Kew district of west London.
According to the BBC, the Instagram post shows a working surveillance camera aimed at the goat, but it has since been turned around.
The anonymous and elusive street artist and political activist did not include a caption under his Instagram post, leaving the work up to interpretation.
Local residents told the BBC they were happy to have the plant in their neighborhood.
“I find it incredible – we hope it stays here,” Malcom Taylor told the British broadcaster.
