    Interesting and unusual plastic. In general, there are a few works of art in the village that are surprising.

    The sculpture was originally made of sandstone, and the original is now housed in the Faaborg Museum. The version we see in Faaborg Square is a bronze copy, erected in 1964.

    The story behind the sculpture is based on legends and myths about the "creation of the world"...

    Made by sculptor Kai Nielsen.
    Donated by State Councilor Mads Rasmussen.
    Erected and unveiled on June 24, 1913.
    In bronze from 1964.
