Description
English:
Lion fountain /other name: Millennium fountain with lions/ by Klára Tóbiás (installed 2000). Opinion: it commemorates the kings of the House of Árpád. Description: The well is separated from the square by a triple pedestal, on which is placed the limestone well base, on which lions stand with their wings holding the country apple. The lion was St. Stephen's coat of arms, as a lion appears on both the royal scepter and the coronation mantle. The four lions here are exactly the same. With their wings, they are a bit confusing, since the winged lion is the animal of the coat of arms of Venice. The Wings may be because of the virtues embodied by lions, for the east-facing lion is an allegory of faith, the north-facing is courage, the west-facing is an allegory of honor, and the south-facing is an allegory of light. In the triple sphere of existence, serpents refer to the lower world, lions radiating strength and power refer to the middle, and the country apple refers to the upper world. From above, the lions show a circular shape, the basin of the well shows the floor plan of a church nave(?). /translated by Microsoft Bing/- Klauzál Square, Belváros (Inner City) neighborough, Szeged, Csongrád-Csanád County, Hungary.
Magyar:
Oroszlános díszkút /egyéb név: Oroszlános millenniumi kút/ Tóbiás Klára alkotása, mely az Árpád-házi királyoknak állít emléket. A kutat a tértől egy hármas talapzat választja el, erre került a mészkő kút alap, amelyen oroszlánok állnak szárnyaikkal az országalmát tartva. Az oroszlán Szent István címerállata volt, ugyanis oroszlán szerepel mind a királyi jogaron, mind a koronázó paláston. Az itt lévő négy oroszlán teljesen egyforma. Szárnyaikkal kissé zavarólag hatnak, hiszen a szárnyas oroszlán Velence címer állata. A Szárnyak talán az oroszlánok által megtestesített erények miatt szerepelnek, ugyanis a keletre néző oroszlán a hit, az északi a bátorság, a nyugatra tekintő a becsület, míg a délre tájolt a fény allegóriája(?). A lét hármas szférájában kígyók az alsó, az erőt és hatalmat sugárzó oroszlánok a középső, az országalma a felső világra utal. Fölülnézetből az oroszlánok körformát, a kút medencéje templomhajó alaprajzát mutatja(?)[1] - Szeged, Belváros, Klauzál tér
