Realistic representations of animals were among the most popular motifs for buyers of artistic and handcrafted small sculptures in the 1920s. The sculptor Wilhelm Jäger (1888-1979) sold this type of ceramic work in his business. Many public works of art were created by Jäger, including the Fritz Reuter well on the market square from 1923 (today: “Mudder-Schulten well” opposite the train station).
