这座青铜雕塑是一把0.45英寸口径左轮手枪的放大复制品,枪口被打成一个结,由瑞典艺术家卡尔•弗雷德里克•雷乌特斯韦德创作,卢森堡赠送,位于面朝一大道交45街处的大会大楼外侧。弯曲打结的枪管表示了人们对非暴力的向往,以及呼吁国际裁军行动。
Presented on 30 September 1988 by the Government of Luxembourg, the sculpture of an outsized revolver with its barrel tied in a knot, greets the visitor to the United Nations Headquarters. The artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswd, a native ofSweden, named the gift "non-violence".
