ABE LINCOLN IN OSLO?

 

From a distance I thought this was a statue of Abraham Lincoln. Perhaps he had some Norwegian in him???......turns out it was Johan Sverdrup,prime minister from 1884-1889. At least I think that's who it was. I went back to check the name plaque a few days later and the statue was gone! Was he controversial or just in the shop for repairs? I had no time to solve THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING STATUE as language school about killed me.

Speaking of mysteries.....What is this statue supposed to mean? I find the armless hand rather spooky.
