This piece of artwork is a monument made of etched stone. The large piece is in the shape of the country of Saudi Arabia and is etched with images of some kings and historical or religious dates and events. It is placed in front of a government building and is quite large. I haven’t been able to get a great shot of this piece since I am always in a moving car when we pass by it, but this is the best photo of it I have gotten to date. The palm tree and crossed swords on the carved piece placed in the center of the stone are symbols of the Saudi government.
About This Blog, and About Me: Susie of Arabia
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, is KSA's 2nd largest city and is located on its west coast, right on the Red Sea. I moved here in 2007 with my Saudi hubby. This journal reflects the things that I see here, life through my eyes, my lens.
Please be sure to also visit my other blog, SUSIE OF ARABIA (formerly SUSIE'S BIG ADVENTURE), which relates my experiences, thoughts, and observations about living in Saudi Arabia.

I have a set of cuff links with the date palms and the swords. Indeed beautiful emblem.
My hubby has a set of cufflinks like that too!
That is a nice idea for a monument. History etched in stone.
