Signature
u. nuss 93/94 with a small relief portrait of the artist.
Annotation
The sculpture awakens associations with the Christmas story, to Joseph, Mary and the child. The boat is reminiscent of the Weser, in the time in the history of Hessisch Oldendorf when boats were required for the work. The semicircular arch symbolizes the cycle of life and old age, it starts with the man, continues in the rounding of the boat and ends with the mother and child.
