Large sculpture inspired by rock carvings found at the Lepenski Vir settlements. The true purpose of the sculptures is unknown but archaeologists theorise they represent a deity of great importance to the settlement. This is based on their locations within the site and a clear visual continuity across discovered sculptures, even across time. One anthropological theory to the spiritual significance of these sculptures contends that they represented the souls of the dead reincarnated into fish; that all men were children of the river. The Danube brought life to the Lepenski Vir culture in the form of a rich, sustainable food source and protection with a strong structural foundation and safety along the riverside.
