See Old Prussians Statues of Northern Pomerania, Gdańsk, Poland

Old Prussians, Baltic Prussians or simply Prussians were the indigenous peoples from a cluster of Baltic tribes that inhabited the region of Prussia. Unfortunately, these various tribes and chiefdoms that dominated the area were annihilated by the Teutonic Knights in the 1200s and now little remains of their oral, written, and social history. There are only 21 stone statues scattered across the region and in international museums. Despite being depictions of men, the statues are referred to locally as Stara Baba Pruska or “Old Prussian Hags.”
