Polášek, a native son of Frenštát pod Radhoštěm, began working on the sculpture in 1924 –in America, where he was based at the time. He created several variants, from which the final form was born in his Prague studio – a man’s body with a lion-like face, wearing a helmet with horns, and holding a cornucopia in one hand and an axe in the other.
