The contemporary sculpture is a 2008 replica, with the original, designed by Konstanty Hegel and unveiled in 1855, currently being held in the nearby Museum of Warsaw. The work depicts the Mermaid of Warsaw, a symbol of the city, and its folklore patron. She is shown as a melusine emerging out of turbulent waters, with a spiral tail, and holding a sword in her right hand high above her head, and a shield in her left hand, near her chest.
