Ganzen Geesje, Bronze sculpture on Market Square in Coevorden, Netherlands.
A girl holding a goose stands in a pentagonal fountain basin with ten additional geese surrounding the central figure.
During the 1970s, Mayor Willem Hoekzema initiated a community fundraising campaign that gathered 35,000 guilders to create this artistic monument.
The sculpture commemorates the women goose herders who brought their birds to market every second Monday of November until 1962.
The monument measures 235 centimeters in height and 300 centimeters in diameter, positioned at the northern end of Market Square.
After its initial placement, the bronze geese endured multiple incidents of damage, with one being stolen and later recovered.
