One of a number of statues (several have now gone) brought in by Duncan Alves during his works to the gardens and grounds in the 1920s.
Statue. Stone figure of gladiator, copied from Antonio Canova's sculpture, commissioned by Pope Pius VII (c.1796), the original of which is now in the Vatican Museum, Rome. The figure stands on a high plinth with moulded base and capping but lacks the shield and sword it formerly held in its left and right hands respectively.
Included as one of a number of garden structures erected during the 1920s, an important period in the development of the gardens and grounds at Bryn Bras Castle.
