Záboj and Slavoj (Czech: Záboj a Slavoj) is an outdoor sculpture by Josef Václav Myslbek, installed at Vyšehradské sady in Vyšehrad, Prague, Czech Republic.[1]

It depicts the heroic brothers from the manuscripts of Dvůr Králové and of Zelená Hora.[2] The brothers were leaders of the rebellion against the invasion of the German troops of Charlemagne and allegedly led the victorious battle in 805.[3]
