Peace Dove, Concrete peace dove monument in Sumgait, Azerbaijan.

The concrete sculpture stands in Nasimi Culture and Leisure Park and shows a dove rendered in minimalist form. The work occupies a central location within the park and catches the eye through its simple yet expressive shape.

The monument was unveiled in 1978 in the newly created public park on the Caspian Sea coast. Its authors were Sumgait's chief artist Vagif Nazirov and sculptor-architect Asim Guliyev; the work was shown in Moscow and received a medal. In 2008 the park and sculpture were reconstructed and restored, and in 2012 demolition plans were reported, followed by a new restoration in 2013.

The dove appears on Sumgait's coat of arms and has been reproduced on several Azerbaijani postage stamps dedicated to the city. Its silhouette, with wings spread for takeoff, is a recognisable emblem of Sumgait for residents.

The sculpture stands in Nasimi Culture and Leisure Park on the Caspian coast of Sumgait, on a low pedestal with the ground around it paved with slabs. The white concrete dove rises several metres, so it can be spotted from across the park. The park and monument were renovated in 2008 and again in 2013.

In 2012 reports emerged of plans to demolish the sculpture, yet the following year, 2013, it was restored again instead. The dove also appears on Azerbaijani postage stamps devoted to Sumgait, and the work was exhibited in Moscow, where it received a medal.
