About the artist: Rudolf Hlavica (1897 - 1971) was a Czech sculptor and carver. He learnt his craft at his father's workshop. After being imprisoned in Soci Russia, he returned to his homeland and established a company "Bratři Hlavicové - výroba dřevěných hraček" (manufacture of wooden toys) with his brother Emil in Vsetín. In 1932 he finished his university studies at the University of Applied Arts and worked as a high-school professor in Košice (today's Slovakia).

Most of his popular artworks are made of ceramic or metal.
