Statue of Mungo Park The statue of Mungo Park is accompanied by four bronze statues on each corner of the plinth, as well as two bronze reliefs on either side. The original statue of Park was created by Andrew Currie in 1859, while the bronze figures and reliefs were added by Thomas John Clapperton in 1913. According to the commission, the four figures were designed to symbolise 'the four tribes with whom Park came in contact in his travels in South Africa'. They supposedly represent "Peace", "War", "Slavery", and "Home Life in the Niger".
