Ya, I see it but what is the cultural or historical significance? I see rub marks on the right hand and ears. Is it good luck to shake or scratch them?

Thanks Bob, but David still has to explain why a moomin lives in Buffalo.

My guess is that it may be a picture from some European/Finnish adventure?

Yes. This is a sculpture of a Moomin in a park in Tampere, Finland. The Moomin Museum is nearby.
