Question

I seen a statue of a donkey and his nose was gold. People from all around wanted to touch his nose because it is supposed to stand for good luck. Does anyone know where it is or what the name of the statue is called?

Answer 1

in Liverpool

He certainly does not look like a donkey and there are many other people who were very happy with it. One of the problems at the time was about the cost, but I did it at cost price.’ Fans called for a life-size model which was later installed at Aintree racecourse. It is the only statue which has been approved by the McCains. Hilary Bracegirdle, director of the National Horseracing Museum, said the row put her in an awkward position: ‘I think the difficulty is if you love horses then you know them to be as individual as your own son's face. Clearly, Mr McCain is very passionate about Red Rum and feels it hasn't done him justice. It is a terribly difficult position for me to be in and I had absolutely no idea they didn't approve of the statue.’” Looks like Hilary Bracegirdle didn’t do all of her homework, wot?

Answer 2

I think the one you mean is probably "The Town Musicians" which is in Bremen, Germany.

It shows a donkey, dog, cat and rooster and is based on the Brother's Grimm fairytale.

The donkey's nose has been worn away and looks gold because of the number of people who touch it for luck
