Stockholm’s Knotted Gun
Source and license: not stated
There are 31 copies of the sculpture around the world, one of them - in front of the UN Headquarters in New York City. There are several non-official copies as well, some of them showing a different type of a gun but all of them united by the knotted barrel theme.
Since 1993, the sculpture has been the symbol of The Non-Violence Project that promotes social change through violence-prevention education programs.
