I walked past this statue a couple of times and it’s definitely unusual. TItled “Äidinrakkaus / Maternal love”, it consists of a mare and a foal which are cast in bronze. A little corroded since the installation in 1930, but still in decent condition.
The mare’s head is turned towards her foal, which expresses the maternal instinct towards her young.
It’s worth a stop if you’re in the area but definitely not something to go out of your way to experience.
