This statue depicts a woman flanked by two hooded warriors on the corner of the Koruna Palace, constructed by a life insurance company in 1914. The stone relief is by Stanislav Sucharda (1866 – 1916), according to the Koruna Palace website (though one commenter on Facebook disputes this and says it’s by Vojtech Sucharda). Either way, this is Amos’s favourite statue. He said: ‘Czechia is a country that literally fought its way into existence in the 1910s against the Austro-Hungarians, then fought the Nazis and the Soviets to become the free country it is today. So that image of the woman flanked by swordsmen is, to me, so symbolic of what the country represents – an amazing culture preserved by its warriors through some of the darkest moments of history’
