Fiskegumma is a compact granite sculpture by Clarence Blum, carved in nineteen forty-nine for Sweden’s fish trade. Her hood and shawl hold blunt cuts that catch light across the stone.

She stands beside a canal in a small park, connecting today’s quiet paths with an earlier working quay. Children, cyclists, and passing pedestrians now share her path.

From eighteen ninety-four, this place served as a fish market, where women from Limhamn brought catches for sale. Rail transport helped carry the goods to the quay.

Those sellers could not trade in the flower or main squares, so this waterfront became their trading ground. The figure recalls their daily labour.

That market belonged to a longer fishing history, since major catches had shaped the harbour and town from medieval times. Fiskegumma preserves that working history in human scale.

Her steady face, weathered folds, and visible grain give the sculpture a practical presence rather than grandeur. Light and shadow reveal the marks of the stone.
