"Jayhawk II Kansas Sarimanok" in the Kansas Union, 1993
Subject
statue, jayhawk, Kansas Union
Description
A version of the Jayhawk statue in front of Strong Hall is on display on the third floor of Kansas Union. Called “Jayhawk II Kansas Sarimanok,” it is a copy of a 26-inch model Tefft created at the request of KU alumni in the Philippines because it resembles the sarimanok, a bird in Filipino mythology. The original was destroyed in university student riots in 1984, but the Philippine chapter could not afford to buy a replacement.
