Cool post! I love weird statues and sculptures. The funniest thing is when people go in this head and play peek-a-boo! You can feel as a child there!
In Székesfehérvár, there is a life-size bronze statue of a peasant woman, who sold roast geese long time ago at the local market. Everyone knew her as Kati néni (aunt Kati), and she was famous of her kind heart. Kati néni's nose is always shining, because people rub it to bring fortune.
Your story about Kati is very interesting! It's amazing that a simple person was so well loved that they made a statue of her!
