Sculptural composition "Egyptian Pyramid", Bronze sculpture in Gorky Park, Taganrog, Russia.

The sculptural composition "Egyptian Pyramid" is a cast bronze group by Dmitry Lyndin set on a low granite pedestal before the entrance to Gorky Park in Taganrog. It shows the circus act from Chekhov's "Kashtanka": the pig Havronya Ivanovna, the goose Ivan Ivanovich, the cat Fyodor Timofeyevich and the dog Kashtanka, four figures arranged as an acrobatic pyramid. Coloured tiles around the pedestal mark the circus ring.

Sculptor Dmitry Lyndin of Rostov-on-Don won the competition for the work; Taganrog mayor Nikolai Fedyanin visited his studio to follow its progress. The monument was inaugurated on 1 September 2008, the Day of Knowledge. Shortly before 10 April 2012, teenage vandals damaged the pig figure while trying to extract coins from it.

The four bronze figures — pig Havronya Ivanovna, goose Ivan Ivanovich, cat Fyodor Timofeyevich and dog Kashtanka — reproduce the circus act "Egyptian Pyramid" from Chekhov's story "Kashtanka". Since the day of installation, 1 September 2008, a local custom has visitors rub the pig's snout and drop coins into its open mouth to make a wish.

The sculpture is located in the central park of the city and easy to reach on foot. Visit during daytime when light brings out the details and textures of the bronze figures clearly.

The bronze figures were created using a specialized casting technique that is traditional in metal sculpture work. The process involved making detailed wax models first, which were then used as patterns for pouring the molten bronze.
