Comments:
The sign is placed on a dedicated stone pole in a spherical shape and is similar to many signs of gardens in Tel Aviv

The square is also known as the pencil square because of its statue in its center. The statue, made by Rafi Peled, was removed around 2021.

The square photo was taken that day Click for a larger image
