Statue of a raftsman in Toruń, Bronze monument in Toruń, Poland
The bronze statue depicts a raftsman with a violin, standing next to a well surrounded by eight water-spouting frogs at its base.
The monument was erected in 1914 to commemorate the raftsmen who transported goods along the Vistula River during earlier centuries.
The statue represents a local legend about a raftsman named Iwo who played violin music to lead troublesome frogs out through Chełmińska gate.
The monument stands in an open public area, making it accessible for visitors to take photographs and examine the detailed craftsmanship throughout the day.
Each of the eight frogs at the base of the monument functions as a water spout, creating a continuous display of flowing water patterns.
