Sculptor Arvydas Ališanka created a 2-meter-tall and 2.5-meter-long sculpture titled "Iron Kukutis", made from iron rods and inspired by a line from Marcelijus Martinaitis' Kukutis' Ballads: "It seems I'll soon have to be in Vilnius, and I'll buy you an iron Kukutis." The sculpture was unveiled in 2025 to honor the creative legacy of poet, essayist, translator, and playwright Marcelijus Martinaitis, as well as the character Kukutis he brought to life.
