'Ishinki-Touchstone', Barbirolli Square, Manchester, UK, 1 September, 2004

This polished white marble 'pebble' by Kan Yasuda cost £200,000 in 1996, when the Square and surrounding buildings were opened, and has a special anti-graffiti coating.

A number of cows have been damaged by vandals, so have been removed for repair and/or relocated. For some reason, Barbirolli Square seems to have been a blackspot, and this empty plinth is typical.

The Midland Hotel is in the background.
