Of the 21 surviving sandstone sculptures in Saxon Garden, many of the inscriptions are incorrect, the result of renovations in the 19th century. Several of he sculptures have no inscription at all, but the personifications have been deduced based on analysis of the subjects and the objects they hold.

The four sculptures shown here are all missing inscriptions. They are: Arytmetyka (Arithmetic), Geografia (Geography), Inteligencja (Intelligence), and Nauka (Science). The first two, Arytmetyka and Geografia, are 20th century reconstructions of the originals that were completely destroyed by the Nazis in World War II.
