"Mir" (Peace). The bronze statue "Mir" (Peace) is 16 feet in height. It is an equestrian figure of a woman standing on a pedestal. The pedestal, about 26 feet high, is of concrete faced with rose-colored marble glass. The woman holds in her left hand, lifted above the horse's head, an olive branch, and in her right hand a globe.
The statue stands in the north garden. The sculptor, Anton Augustincic, is a contemporary Yugoslav artist. The work was formally presented to the UN in 1954. |
