EN: This bronze statue stands in a corner of a park in the center of Arlesheim. It represents a woman in a summer dress having a horse's head.
Unfortunately, there is no sign with further information, such as artist, title or year of origin, and I could neither find out any details somewhere else. Apparently, it is not a well-known mythological figure, but the product of the imagination of the contemporary artist.
DE: Diese Bronzestatue steht in einer Ecke eines Parks im Zentrum von Arlesheim. Sie stellt eine Frau in einem Sommerkleid dar, die einen Pferdekopf hat.
Es gibt leider kein Schild mit weiteren Angaben, etwa zu Künstler, Titel oder Entstehungsjahr, und auch sonst konnte ich keine Details herausfinden. Offenbar handelt es sich aber nicht um eine bekannte mythologische Figur, sondern ist das Produkt der Phantasie des zeitgenössischen Künstlers.
