The Seal Sculpture was designed and built by Australian artist Len Shillam out of polished terrazzo in 1954-56. It is historically important in demonstrating the prime holiday destination atmosphere of the Gold Coast in the post war period and the development of Gold Coast’s first large scale hotel Lennon’s Hotel, Broadbeach. It is also an example of post war modern sculpture in Queensland. It has social and cultural significance for locals and tourists as a much photographed icon.
