Rejent, Bronze dwarf statue in Old Town, Wrocław, Poland.
Rejent is a small bronze figure in Wrocław's Old Town portraying a notary holding official documents and dressed in formal attire. The statue was installed in 2013 and belongs to a larger collection of hundreds of similar figures scattered throughout the city.
The figure is part of a movement from the 1980s when artists in Wrocław created small bronze sculptures as a form of artistic protest. This tradition grew into a citywide collection that now includes hundreds of such figures.
This dwarf honors the legal profession and fits into Wrocław's long tradition of representing different occupations through small bronze sculptures. The formal clothing and documents in hand show how the artist imagined a notary's identity.
The figure is located near the Old Town Market Square and can be found using maps or mobile apps that focus on these collections. Most of these sculptures are small and easy to miss, so it helps to keep your eyes open while walking the streets around the central plaza.
This figure holds what appear to be real documents in its hands, mimicking the look of actual legal papers and emphasizing its specific role as a notary. The attention to detail makes it a witty comment on bureaucracy that many visitors miss at first glance.
