The sculpture, created by Liss Eriksson in 1954, is located in a quiet courtyard area called Bollhustäppan. It is recognized as the smallest public monument in Stockholm and is also known as 'Pojke som tittar på månen' (Boy Looking at the Moon). The figure is made of metal and is noted for its charming size and delicate craftsmanship. During winter, the sculpture is often dressed with a small hat and scarf, enhancing its appeal as a cultural icon with folklore significance. It attracts attention for its unique scale and the superstitions associated with it, regarded as a symbol of good luck.
