Fågelmannen by Liss Eriksson, Bronze sculpture in Arvika, Sweden

Fågelmannen is a statue by Liss Eriksson, unveiled in 1971 on Arvika torget, facing the railway station. It depicts a man in bird form and is often used as a symbol of Arvika. Eriksson was the youngest son of sculptor Christian Eriksson.

The statue was made by Liss Eriksson, the youngest son of sculptor Christian Eriksson, and has stood on Arvika torget since 1971. It takes up the bird-man figure known from Nordic Bronze Age and Early Iron Age rock carvings and archaeological finds, such as the Kallsängen carving in Bohuslän and an object from Glasbacka in Halland.

The statue borrows its name and bird-headed form from a religious archetype of the Nordic Bronze and early Iron Ages, known from rock carvings such as one at Kallsängen in Kville parish, Bohuslän, and from an object found at Glasbacka in Halland interpreted as a ceremonial staff. Erected in 1971, it is often used as Arvika's symbol.

The sculpture is in the public square of Arvika and is freely accessible to anyone visiting. It is easy to find while exploring the town center and requires no special arrangements to view.

The statue, placed on Arvika torget opposite the railway station since 1971, is often used as a symbol of Arvika itself. Its creator, Liss Eriksson, was the youngest son of sculptor Christian Eriksson.
