Description

Sitzender Keiler is a unique bronze sculpture depicting a seated boar, located in the heart of Munich. It is a recreation of the famous Porcellino of Florence, made with extraordinary attention to detail by Martin Mayer.

According to local tradition, rubbing the boar's glistening nose brings good luck, leaving that part of the sculpture polished while the rest is covered with patina.

The sculpture forms an interesting ensemble with the figure of a giant catfish and is a popular photo spot for tourists visiting Munich.

avatarmacedonboy6 years agoThe Sitting boar sculpture is a popular sculpture that sits just outside the German Hunting and Fishing Museum on Neuhauser Strasse. It's another one of those bronze statues that locals and tourists like to rub supposedly for good luck. The "good luck" spot on this sculpture is the snout as evidenced by the shiny snout compared to the rest of the statue. As the German name of the sculpture suggests, it's a sculpture of a wild boar and it's depicted in a sitting position. Nuff said.
