Whilst walking over the hill the other evening, I found this rather strange statue, not really sure what it represents as someone had very kindly vandalised the english language sign and so I couldn't translate it but it represents 4 founders of world religions (Jesus, Buddha, Lao-sen (?) and Phantokoum (?)) all being paid homage by Abraham
If anyone knows any more please shed some light on it for me

After some digging, and a an article in Funzine, I have found a little more detail on this sculpture - apparently it is called The Garden of Philosophy by Nandor Wagner - a Hungarian who fled the Hungary after the 1956 Revolution.
The inner circle represents the main founders of the main global religions - Abraham, Echnaton, Jesus, Buddha and Lao Tse, whilst the outer circles show those whose work and awareness has led to enlightenment. There is a matching version in the US and one in Japan
