Authorship and exact time of creation are unknown. There are no records of the century in which the statue was created, nor of the sculptor's name. This anonymity allows different interpretations. Some view it as an expression of the common spirit of time, others as a personal gift to someone who wanted to leave a mark but remained in seclusion.
Looking at the statue, it is important to pay attention to the details. The way a woman holds the cups, her attitude, expression, and gesture are key elements.

There are works in the artistic world that provoke questions instead of providing answers. The statue can be a riddle for future generations, an invitation to observe and interpret. In a rushed world, he gives the site a myth and allows the visitor to become part of the story that is still being rewritten.
The statue organically fits into the architecture of Great Saris, its streets and buildings. It became part of the country and identity of the region. It recalls that history is not only about great battles, known kings, or important treaties, but also about small details, artistic gestures and silent symbols that survive centuries, even though their origins remain secret.
Before leaving it is advisable to look at the statue from different angles. From another point of view, details may show, which have been overlooked, such as a soft smile, a specific fold of fingers, or the way the light hits the surface of the glasses.

Seasonal recommendations
Spring - In spring the meadows and trees in the vicinity of Great Shariš flourish. The scattered light highlights the details of the bronze figure. There are fewer visitors at this time. We recommend coming early in the morning and wear a lightweight jacket or jacket because mornings tend to be colder.
Summer - In the summer months the statue is surrounded by greenery. The bright sunlight contrasts with the dark bronze. In the main season is the biggest rush of tourists, especially in the afternoon. Plan your visit immediately after opening or later in the afternoon. Remember sunglasses, hat and drinking mode.
Autumn - In the autumn are around the statues red, orange and gold leaves. After the summer season it is quieter here. The ideal time to visit is afternoon. It is recommended to wear a sweater, a jacket and firm shoes, because under the leaf can be slippery.
Winter - In winter there is a statue in the snow cover. The best time is morning. Dress with warm coats, scarf, cap, and gloves. Use solid shoes with anti-slip surface, because the trails can be snowed or icey.
