Considering the Martialis in Vilnius?

Jacob's Ladder? by evaanna
We discovered this statue in Jano St in the Old Town. There was no inscription on it indicating either the author or the name of the statue only a small plaque that we couldn't understand but, as it represents a man standing on top of a ladder and reaching his arms for the sky, it must be Jacob's Ladder. We cannot be sure though as the biblical patriarch Jacob, who saw the ladder connecting the earth with heaven in his dream on his way from Beersheba to Haran, did not really see himself on it, only the angels ascending and descending, thus acting as messengers between God and men.
Still, it is a lovely statue and I don't see why the author's name should not be inscribed on the plinth or why there should be no mention of it in our guidebook.
