Monument to seal in Arkhangelsk, Bronze war memorial near Northern Dvina embankment, Arkhangelsk, Russia.
The monument features a bronze seal statue positioned on polished black stone. The whitish-grey granite base is designed to resemble frozen ice.
The monument was erected to recall the Second World War period when the city faced siege conditions. Seals were a critical food source for the desperate population during those years.
The monument shows how people in Arkhangelsk felt connected to the sea and its creatures. The seal represents the relationship between the city and the natural resources that were vital for survival.
The monument sits along the Northern Dvina embankment near the Northern Russian Sea Museum. It is easy to reach and visible from the surrounding streets.
A time capsule containing the names of contributors who helped create this monument sits beneath it. These names preserve the memory of all who made this work possible.
