The Village Farmyard sculpture was made of patinated terracotta in Zagreb in 1976. From the elongated base all the figures share stem the forms of nine animals: in the upper row there a heads of cats and a goat, and figures of two hens and a rooster, and in the lower row there are heads of a pig, a bull, a horse and a dog. The animals have a rough form, no elaborate details, but all bear some recognizable features. This ‘portrait’ is the only sculpture of this kind in the author’s ouvre, and since all of the figures are positioned on the front, it is not intended to be viewed from all sides like his other works of art. The sculpture was gifted to the Typhlological Museum by Ivan Ferlan.
