Pierożnik, Bronze gnome statue in Market Square, Wrocław, Poland.
The bronze figure Pierożnik depicts a small gnome holding a fork with a dumpling, standing at the entrance of a local restaurant.
Installed on October 8, 2007, this statue forms part of a collection of dwarf sculptures that emerged from the Orange Alternative anti-communist movement.
The statue represents the connection between Wrocław's dwarf heritage and Polish culinary traditions, specifically the local specialty of filled dumplings called pierogi.
Visitors can find this bronze statue at ground level near 27/28 Market Square, making it accessible for photographs throughout the day.
The figure earned its name from constantly attempting to steal dumplings from restaurant patrons, according to local stories passed through generations.
