Deer Sculptures

Also known as the Scioto Deer, these hoofed mammals relax around the Scioto River. One longingly observes the river, another reclines on the grassy bank, and the third sits quietly at the top of Genoa Park while people-watching. The beloved deer are the vision of artist Terry Allen who cleverly managed to incorporate nature with the metropolitan atmosphere of Columbus. His inspiration came directly from the word "Scioto" which means "hairy deer" in a Native American language.
