Surely it is Pat - and may I say a more fulsome response I could't wish for - I mean, a postcode? Take the next three turns ;-)

Thank you, Brett! Fulsome becomes simple when one can ‘cut and paste’ from websites. I’ll settle for one turn :-D New pic will follow shortly.

Continuing the sculpture theme, where (place and town, please) is this one located?

‘Mother with her Dead Son’ by Käthe Kollwitz in Berlin’s Neue Wache (mentioned by DutchMM above) is exposed to the elements through an ‘oculus’ or opening in the roof. This ‘Madonna and Child’ is 100% exposed to the weather; it is outdoors.
It was created and installed in 2000 by a sculptor who has produced many works as publically-funded commissions for installation in public spaces.

Ah Pat, doubt if I would have found it without the clues! (Could only find just the one wee photo)
A work by sculptor Jackie McKenna, situated beside St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Main Street, Carrick-on-Shannon, County Leitrim. 30813025.?

Hi Max1
That was a super find - it think it's the only record of the statue on the internet!
I've just logged in - have I got you in time? Do you want to take your turn??
Pat.

This is 'The last ANZAC' (also called ‘The Untidy Soldier’) by Francis Ennis 'Guy' Lynch.
I think there are two castings of this statue. One is at the Wairarapa Soldiers' Memorial, (aka The Cenotaph), Queen Elizabeth Park, Dixon Street, Masterton NZ, and your photo is of the second casting at the Devonport First World War Memorial, now called the Devonport Combined War Memorial, off Flagstaff Terrace, Devonport, Auckland NZ. ?????

Fine looking sculpture, doesn't have a WW1 type haircut though.

As Max wrote, time zones can play havoc; I’m off to bed, so here (a little earlier than usual) is my first clue. I’ll check in again and give further clue(s), if needed, in the morning.
Clue 1
These two farmers are about to conclude a ‘bargain’ (a spoken contract or agreement for sale and purchase, presumably of some cattle in this case) in the old, traditional way of slapping hands.

They stand in an ancient fair green where some of the largest fairs in the region were once held. The town is still the centre of a rich cattle-producing area.

It owes its origins to a number of Quakers who settled here in the late 1600’s.
The town takes its name from the Middle/Norman French word ‘Motte’ (as in Motte and Bailey), a raised protective/defensive earthwork topped with a stone or wood structure and accompanied by a ditch (often water-filled) and from which the modern English word ‘moat’ derives.

Well done, Hans!
The proper name for the statue, as given by the sculptor, is ‘The Bargain’, hence my reference in clue 1
“The Eleventh Hour public art tour will feature various well known sculptures including... the Bargain by Jackie McKenna in Moate....” See http://www.superannrte.ie/index.php...e-new-arts-programme-1266&catid=14&Itemid=105 and http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000341904
Good work, over to you!
