The sculptures were made as a pair; they are almost identical, save for some details. The Trsat basilisks are 1.40 m high and the line from the comb to the end of the tail is 3.80 m long.<\/p>\n<p>The basilisk on the Eastern side holds the field marshal\u2019s baton and the charter while the other on the Western side holds a shield. Both sculptures were produced in the imperial and royal foundry Fernkorn in Vienna and are very similar to sculptures of basilisks made around the mid 19<sup>th<\/sup> century also by Fernkorn for the Bosiljevo Castle of Laval Nugent.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7500 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rijeka.hr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/Trsatska_gradina-4-1200x800-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In front of the mausoleum of Laval Nugent (1777 \u2013 1862) Peace of Heroes at the Trsat castle there are two statues of basilisks made by Austrian sculptor Antun Dominik Fernkorn (1813 \u2013 78) that date back to the second half of the 19th century.
