Muut tiedot
The composition "Heraldiska lejonet" (Heraldic Lion) is a sketch for a never-executed monument in Gothenburg, Sweden. A sketch was exhibited at the Gothenburg City's 300th-anniversary celebration, the so-called "Jubileumsutställningen” (Jubilee Exhibition) in Gothenburg in 1923. Two heraldic lions were intended to be erected as a monument on Götaplatsen, but Milles changed his mind, and instead, the Posedionbrunnen (Poseidon Fountain) was erected on the site.
