Justin Trudeau is already the prime minister of PR, but now he's also been immortalized another way: with a big sculpture made of butter.

This past weekend, a sculptor at the Canadian National Exhibition debuted an in-progress Trudeau butter sculpture, modeled after a 2016 photo in which the Canadian PM is cradling two newborn pandas at the Toronto Zoo.

It's reportedly a work in progress, so we're likely to see more vivid detail (and maybe some eyeballs) in the days to come. In the meantime ... that trademark Trudeau hair swoop is coming along nicely.

Butter sculptures have been part of Canadian tradition since 1924, when a piece depicting the Prince of Wales alongside his horse debuted in the Canadian Pavilion at the British Empire Exhibition. Since then, butter sculptures of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, and Olympic figure skater Barbara Ann Scott have graced the expo grounds. And now we have Justin Trudeau and two pandas. Adorable!

Of course, it's no cow made of butter. But what could be?
