Radegast, Stone sculpture at Mount Radhošť, Czech Republic.

The Radegast statue depicts a figure with a lion head, wearing a horned helmet while holding a cornucopia and an axe on Mount Radhošť.

The first Radegast statue, created by sculptor Albín Polášek in 1931, was funded by Czech Americans as a gift to their homeland.

The statue represents the Slavic deity Radegast, known as the god of harvest, hospitality, and abundance in ancient Baltic traditions.

The current granite replica, weighing 3.38 tonnes and measuring 3.2 meters, replaced the original concrete statue due to weather damage.

The original Radegast statue resides in Frenštát town hall, while a second version stands in Prague Zoo after its restoration in 2015.
