History / Description: "Frightened Children" The sculpture of metal, in which the passage of time has left their mark, shows a figure holding a stick in his hand. It moves straight. If she wants to go back probably scare children? With the oversized "head" to be shown how it can inspire the children fear. The basin plays this well a subordinate role.
