A Symbol of Independence in Trusteeship Council Chamber
Caption Description
A teakwood sculptural piece, the work of Danish artist Henrik Starcke, was a gift made to the United Nations from Denmark in 1953 and is displayed in the Trusteeship Council Chamber at UN Headquarters. The woman with her arms outstretched, releasing the bird above her, may suggest ""unlimited flight upwards"", and in the context of the Trusteeship Council, is symbolic of the colonies achieving independence.
