His chest is decorated with a rector’s chain with the Jagiellonian University's coat of arms. On the pedestal, in the shape of a low, narrowed column, there is a book surrounded by a laurel wreath and oak branches, symbolizing eternal fame.  Sculptor: Józef Hakowski (1834–1897). His engraved signature, along with the date of the sculpture’s creation, is hidden on the left shoulder of the bust. **For more images and further information, visit:** https://muzea.malopolska.pl/en/objects-list/47 Inventory number: MHK 3492/III Location of the physical object: Museum of Kraków, Poland **Digitalisation: Regional Digitalisation Lab, Małopolska Institute of Culture in Kraków, Poland; “Virtual Museums of Małopolska” Project**
