Estátua do Laçador, Bronze monument in Porto Alegre, Brazil
The 4.45-meter-tall bronze statue depicts a gaucho in traditional attire, holding a lasso while standing on a 2.10-meter granite pedestal.
Sculptor Antonio Caringi created the statue for the 1954 São Paulo exhibition, using folklorist Paixão Côrtes as a model for authenticity.
The statue represents the gaucho heritage of southern Brazil, displaying traditional clothing and tools used in cattle herding activities.
Located near Salgado Filho Airport, the statue stands in a 4,000-square-meter area with six distinct spaces featuring Rio Grande do Sul state colors.
The Municipal Government of Porto Alegre designated this bronze figure as the official symbol of the city in 1992 through Law 279/92.
