This is a statue that Mrs D and I saw when we walked up a block from the river in Boppard. Mrs D didn't understand it. It's a mother or grandmother giving a package in the shape of a cone to the small child. It's a Schultuete. Parents or Grandparents present this to a child on the first day of school. It contains sweets (becoming less and less popular), toys and school supplies. It takes the edge off of a very stressful day. Someone even added real candy to the Oma's right hand.
