Right in front of you stands the Fiskegumma. This bronze sculpture is a bit weathered, but it still shows lots of detail and looks like it was just recently added. The Fiskegumma is the Swedish word for “Fish Wife” – she represents the women who used to sell herring on the old fish market in Malmu00f6. This sculpture was created by the British-Swedish artist Clarence Blum in 1949, and it was unveiled on October 8, 1980. The sculpture depicts an old woman in a full-length coat, holding a scarf around her neck and a small shoulder bag in her hand. She’s a symbol of a time when fish was one of the biggest industries in this part of Sweden. The place where you see the Fiskegumma is called “Fisktorget.” The area had been a wharf and a busy market. It’s an unusual sight among those who walk in Malmu00f6, and a reminder of Malmu00f6’s former maritime identity.
