Kissa-Kallu, Granite sculpture at Hämeentie intersection, Turku, Finland.
The red granite sculpture represents a man with a sack on his back and a milk can, bending down toward a cat at his feet.
The sculpture commemorates Karl Georg Lemberg, a hermit who lived in Nummenpakka during the early decades of the twentieth century in Turku.
The Nummenpaka Society initiated a community fundraising campaign in the 1980s to create this memorial sculpture, demonstrating strong local support.
The sculpture stands at the intersection of Hämeentie and Old Hämeentie, with the Turku city council maintaining the foundation and surrounding park area.
The figure depicted in the sculpture was known to collect discarded food from milk cans at the Eastern Station and the market hall on Uudenmaankatu.
