Boy with butterfly / Bachgen y Gloyn Byw

Apologies for not being sure of the title of this sculpture in the pool, by the brilliant Sir William Goscombe John (the same figure can be seen in the gardens of the Museum of Welsh Life, St Fagans, and other works are to be found there and in the vicinity of the city). Local legend has it that it commemorates a boy drowned; the location is the small but most beautifully formed Thomson's Park. I believe this casting is in resin, after the original (and a re-cast) was stolen and damaged; sadly it still suffers mistreatment, the butterfly on the boy's outstretched hand in particular seems to attract vandals.
