The likeness of Melania Trump has been carved in wood in her native Slovenia.

A life-size sculpture of the US first lady has been unveiled in her hometown of Sevnica, drawing mixed reactions from the locals.

The rustic figure was cut from the trunk of a linden tree, showing her in a pale blue dress like the one she wore at Donald Trump's presidential inauguration.

Her face is depicted in a naive local style.

It is the work of American artist Brad Downey, who is also showing photos of the statue in an exhibition in the Slovenian capital, Ljubljana.

"This seems a very interesting thing to show to the people," curator of the exhibition Jani Pirnat said.

"It expresses the topic that is somehow hanging in the air."
