This statue on the top of the former Glasgow Savings Bank at Parkhead Cross is one of the city's more unusual architectural sculptures as it shows a man strangling a wolf with his bare hands (and yes, you read that right!).

Created in 1908 by Archibald Macfarlane Shannan, it's titled Prudence Strangling Poverty, with the male figure representing Prudence and the wolf representing Want.
