The mermaid is not on the branches, but sits on a stone embankment :) However, there are exceptions. With a big spill of the River Villa in 2004, the mermaid was blown away by the current. After ebb, the bronze sculpture was found and returned to its place. A statue was made by the Vilnius sculptor Romas - the very one who created the angel Užupis just recently in early 2000.
