Siskotyttö, Bronze statue at Market Square, Kuopio, Finland.
The Siskotyttö statue stands at the western entrance of Kuopio Market Square, depicting a figure holding a scale while facing the city hall.
Finnish sculptor Taru Mäntynen created this bronze artwork in 1984 after winning a competition to design a portrait of a Savo market seller.
The name Siskotyttö translates to Sister Girl in English, representing the local market vendors who contributed to the commercial life of Kuopio.
The statue functions as a central meeting point in the marketplace, located near the Market Hall where vendors sell local products.
During May Day celebrations, students place caps on the statue while local Martat women participate in cleaning and decorating the bronze figure.
