Installed in the grounds of the Medical Garden as part of its comprehensive reconstruction in 1985–1988 were a pair of entrance sculptures, drinking fountains, and Swan Fountain as designed by the authors’ collective of sculptor Rastislav Miklánek and architect Pavel Mikšík. 

The garden restoration project was developed by the architect Alfonz Torma and the sculptor Tibor Schotter. Today, the artworks form part of the modern sculptural setting of the Medical Garden, a space first developed during the 1870s as a Baroque garden of the palace of Prince Aspremont. 

The pair of sculptures, identical in shape and material, were installed at the Medical Garden entrances at the intersection of Špitálska, 29. Augusta and Poľná streets. Erected in 1987, these red andesite sculptures originally bore inscriptions, both works costing 300,500 Czechoslovak crowns. 

They comprise two stone blocks set in close proximity. The blocks are c-shaped and face in opposite directions.  

The sculptures stand on a ground-level concrete surface.
