Tibor Bártfay's sculptor artwork is called Bosorka in Bratislava, although it is commonly known as "Dievča s havranmi" - "Girl with ravens".

This statue has been commemorated the causless witchcraft of the Middle Ages, or rather had got revenge for their deaths. The city of Bratislava (having a blood court) did not have to wait much for the first witch-litigation. In 1602, Agatá Tootová-Barnabášova was listed to be the first witch in Bratislava. At that time, either they were burn to death or were thrown into the Danube River...

On the other hand, as the creator suppose as they were "rehabilitated" in their death.

"Women were wises," says the sculptor. "They knew herbs, were skilled chefs, housewives, and their only have mistake to wanted to be seen the stronger sex a little tedious and often pales," said Bártfay regarding to being unfairly convicted witches in Bratislava.

The subject of witchcraft was also elaborated by some of the local creators, such as Ludmila Crengrošová (Memorial of Biatec) sculptor in a pair of her reliefs (Michalska brána)

The statue fits into this somewhat "secluded" place, although for years ago it has "resting place" character as a park between the stairs, where the view is beautiful.

The bronze statue (220x320x125 cms - 87x126x49 in.) "stretches" on the 38x160 cms - 15x63 in. concrete base.
