Technique: sculpture, grey granite

Dimensions: approx. 50 cm × 30 cm

Object: The object is a small, free-standing sculpture made of grey granite representing an animal, most likely a lion, in synthetic form. The sculpture resembles works of Alfons Łosowski from the 1960–80 period, but his authorship is not confirmed.

Place: The sculpture seems to be in a rather random location and was possibly moved from another place. However, neither the date of unveiling, nor any broader context for the sculpture’s creation are known so far.
