The sculptor Andrej Rudavský works prolifically with the motifs of chapels, bell towers, and houses, presenting them as small-scale architectures that, to varying degrees, bear anthropomorphic forms. They create the impression of a building that is transforming into a human figure, or vice versa. He positions them on a solid pyramidal base that rises through a column – the body – with the stylised head – the canopy – set on an elongated neck. 

Within the grounds of the primary school at 61 Karloveská Street, on terraced land near the staircase to the school, stands an object. Its base comprises four pyramidal legs, its body is formed of a prism with a hole at its centre, and its softly rounded head – a canopy. 

At a cursory glance, the object appears well preserved, but closer inspection reveals that inappropriate methods were used to clean it. Instead of gentle cleaning and polishing materials, abrasives unsuitable for steel surfaces were used, leaving visible scratches that have damaged the work.
