The Middle East Peace Sculpture in Seattle’s Peace Garden is located in the southeast portion of the Seattle Center near the base of the Space Needle. A graceful twist of Italian marble about 30 x 8 inches standing atop a natural column of black basalt. It depicts two rectangular leaves, very much alike yet different in texture. They are intertwining and reaching toward the sky–interdependent. Peace is engraved in Arabic, English and Hebrew along with the names of Arabic & Jewish participating children. It was dedicated on Children’s Peace Day, October 23, 2003.
