Accounts of the sculpture's execution conflict among local residents. Most believe that the work was created by Cecil Stiff; however, another account has the work sculpted by a German artist for placement in the local zoo. The zoo could not use the sculpture, and it was placed at Redwood Court, according to a former owner.
