Bronze sculpture of a smiling, elderly woman selling sunflower seeds. Next to her, on the ground, are two bags of seeds, a rat, and a sleeping cat. One of the bags has a hole for coins, labeled "Good luck".
The sculpture depicts Liudmyla Banchenko, a real market seller of the area.
The sculpture is by the Ukrainian-Azerbaijani artist Seyfaddin Burbanov. It is (was?) located near the main entrance to the Central Market, Kharkiv, Ukraine.
