The author of the sculpture: A. Toleikis (1979).
Sculpture "Theree Dwarves"
When white candles of blossoms light on the chestnut trees standing along the alley named after them, the three dwarves come to life and shine with pride.

The sculpture of the figurines carved from white marble was created in 1977 by B. Kasperaviciene.
