Let Us Beat Our Swords into Ploughshares - 1986

Let Us Beat Our Swords into Ploughshares - 1986
The bronze sculpture "Let Us Beat Our Swords into Ploughshares," was created by Soviet artist Evgeny Vuchetich, and presented to the United Nations on 4 December 1959 by the Government of the USSR. The sculpture, depicting the figure of a man holding a hammer aloft in one hand and a sword in the other, which he is making into a ploughshare, is meant to symbolize man's desire to put an end to war, and to convert the means of destruction into creative tools for the benefit of mankind. It is located in the North Garden of the United Nations Headquarters. - scanned slide, Minolta X700

It's a quote from the Book of Isaiah, as usually translated--which seems ironic coming from the Soviets! Still a good quote, tho--
