Annotation

Close to the bust, a sculpture of Tingshuset Karlshall, Nobel's house where he wrote his famous will. The inscription is:

tingshuset karlshall
här vann alfred nobels
testamente laga kraft 1897

it was here that alfred nobel's
will was duly proven and
became law in 1897

On the other side a facsimile of Nobel's will in bronze.

Sculptor

Christian Eriksson (Taserud, Arvika 1858 - Stockholm 1935), Swedish sculptor, father of Liss Eriksson (Wikipedia).
