Figures of Mortier organ Neptunus in garden of Jean Staelens

On pp.64-65 of the book 'The Mortier Story' the history of Mortier organ 'Neptunus' is described, and it is mentioned that Jean Staelens placede some of the figures of the organ's façade as decoration in his garden. In the archives of Museum Speelklok there are some photos to be found of these figures (one showing Jean Staelens), which we are allowed to place here, with thanks to Jan Kees de Ruijter:
