When viewed from the front there is a figure of a girl at the left side. She is wearing an elaborate dress the skirt of which flows horizontally to the right forming the seat.
The seat is probably cast from concrete but the base substance is not visible, apart from maybe the face, as the whole seat has been covered with glazed mosaic tile pieces. A wide rainbow of colours has been used and, whilst not my cup of tea, it is a stunning piece of artwork.
Update 9th July 2012: The artist that created this seat has been in touch and, thanks to the information provided, I have been able to assign the correct name of the piece, the date placed and, most importantly, the name of the artist. Thanks Francony!
