Episode 10: Bronze Relief

On your way try not to miss a small bronze relief embedded into the pavement nearby the church wall. It depicts a hand caressing a breast and evidently stands for the women working in Red Light District. It is quite peculiar that no one knows who the sculptor is, since the relief was once just left here at night. Once a year the sculptor takes it back for maintenance and cleaning and then places right back. Over the course of last 15 years the same unknown artist has left a certain number of works around the city of Amsterdam.This relief is one of the landmarks that define Red Light District.The relief is located right next the entrance to Oude Kerk. Keep on walking around the church until you reach the canal in front of you. Then please turn right onto the canal and continue the tour.
