Krasnal Rzeźnik z Jatek, Bronze dwarf sculpture in Old Town, Poland.
The Butcher dwarf stands on Jatki Street surrounded by miniature bronze animals including a pig, rooster, goose, goat, rabbit and cow, representing the medieval meat trade profession.
Created in 2005 as part of Wrocław's dwarf sculpture project, this figure traces its origins to the 1980s Orange Alternative movement's anti-communist graffiti protests.
The sculpture represents the ancient profession of butchers who served the dwarf community during medieval times, symbolizing social solidarity and traditional craftsmanship values in dwarf culture.
Located on Jatki Street in Wrocław's Old Town near Solny Square, the bronze sculpture is wheelchair accessible and can be visited throughout the day year-round.
Among over one hundred dwarf sculptures in Wrocław, the Butcher is distinguished by being accompanied by six different bronze farm animals representing his medieval trade.
