Posankka, The Statue

Posankka is a statue located in Turku, Finland.
The Statue represents a hybrid between a pig (“possu”) and a duck (“ankka”). It is a pink animal with a duck's lower body and a pig's head.

The statue was designed by Alvar Gullichsen in 1999 when it was placed floating in the Aurajoki river in Turku. The statue has stood at its current location since 2001.

Every winter, a Christmas hat is put on Posankka's head.
