Morianbron, a striking timber bridge nestled in the Ulriksdal Palace Gardens, Solna, Sweden, bears two early 19th-century bronze blackamoor sculptures by Per Lundgren grace the entrance of the bridge. These sculptures, positioned on either side, portray blackamoors dressed minimally in loinclothes, engaged in a tug-of-war with a fishing net beneath the bridge. The intrigue these figures add to the garden's panorama is undeniable.
