Sculpture at David Livingstone Centre
NS6958 : David Livingstone Centre The sculpture depicts an actual incident in the life of the missionary/explorer. In his journals Livingstone describes how he and his servants had been attacked by a lion in the African jungle and "shaken as a terrier does a rat." They managed to drive it away - but not before its jaws had broken the explorer's arm in two places. A cast of the arm bones in the Livingstone Centre shows the fractures clearly
