Artwork review
The figurine is a compact, two-element free-standing structure in the proportions 1:3. It is possible that it refers to the trade of gypsum dwarfs, which is typical for German-Polish border towns. Its size and dark golden colors blend very well with the surroundings, giving this alleged symbolism a nice and sincere character.
