I found this photo of a wonderful statue of a man on horseback with a hardanger fiddle in his hand, but I know nothing about it! 

It shows he's in the process of jumping down off the horse.  ...maybe someone thought he was falling off, which might explain the traffic cone placed on his head. (lol) 

I assume it's in Norway somewhere, but could possible be located in any community where the hardanger fiddle has become favored.

Has anyone seen it, or have info about it?

Could it be in Scotland somewhere? 

In Glasgow there is a long tradition of putting traffic cones on statues-  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.....t%20before .
