Story
Bajarz i Bajduś is a storytelling pair. In the photo a bearded dwarf with round glasses and a pipe in his mouth lifts one hand as if he is making a point, and a smaller figure sits at his side, looking up at him. Some lettering is carved into a slab at the bottom of the picture. They stand against a bright orange wall at Zemska 33 in Nowy Dwór.
History & Significance
wromap.pl lists Bajarz i Bajduś, with two figures, Bajarz and Bajduś, at Zemska 33 (54-438 Wrocław), credits Beata Zwolańska-Hołod as the author and gives 21 October 2022 as the appearance date. It warns that access may be limited by a barrier, fence or gate. We found no second source, and we do not know who commissioned them.
Inspiration
No source we found explains the story behind them. In Polish, bajarz is a teller of tales and bajka is a fairy tale or fable, so the names suggest a storyteller and his young listener, and the pipe, glasses and raised hand in the photo fit that. This is our reading of the names, not a statement from a source.
