"Non-Violence" also known as the "Knotted Gun" is a pro-peace sculpture on the grounds of the United Nations by Swedish artist Carl Frederik Reutersward, designed in late 1980 and inspired by the shooting death of his friend John Lennon. It was given to the UN by the government of Luxembourg in 1988.
The sculpture depicts a 45-caliber revolver with its barrel knotted into a bullet blocking twist, an idea normally confined to 2D reality in newspaper editorial cartoons.
There are at least 16 other identical sculptures scattered around the world, in venues ranging from a WWII museum to a shopping center in Liverpool, England. Miniature fiberglas versions are available online.
Edit: Unfortunately the message of the sculpture has not been received by much of the world and especially here in America.
