Let's Beat the Swords into Ploughshares, in Silumin, copy of the monument by E. Vuchetich, with a dedication signed by the sculptor, 1960.
Stands 10" tall to the fist holding the hammer, the plinth is roughly 8" x 3 ½". This is a copy of the monument by Soviet sculptor Evgeniy Vuchetich. The plinth has two inscriptions: one is signed and dated by the sculptor, reading "Dedicated to my dear contemporary, E. Vuchetich, 1960." The second inscription, on the other side of the plinth, is unfortunately, illegible. Only the year, 1962, is clear.
In excellent, outstanding condition. No wear visible to the naked eye.
Evgeniy Vuchetich (Евгений Викторович Вучетич, 1908 - 1974) was a renowned Soviet sculptor and artist famous world-wide for his heroic monuments, such as The Motherland Calls in Volgograd commemorating the Battle of Stalingrad, Warrior-Liberator in Treptow Park, Berlin, or this allegoric monument, Let's Beat the Swords into Ploughshares, perhaps less widely known as the first two, gifted by the Soviet government to the UN and erected in the garden of its HQ in New York. The title of the monument became the unofficial motto of the United Nations. The phrase was taken from Isaiah 2:4, which describes Mashiach's coming, rejection of animosity and violence, and peace which would then reign in the world.
Please note that the quarter coin in our last photo is for size reference.
