Stalks Of Wheat Sculpture in Jeddah Corniche
Composed of steel and bronze, the Stalks of Wheat Sculpture was designed by well-known Egyptian sculptor artist, Salah Abdulkarim, when he was commissioned by the City of Jeddah to create works of art to grace the city’s landscape back in late 1970's and 1980's. This one of many works inspired by verses from The Holy Quran : {The likeness of those who expend their wealth in the way of God (Allah) is as the likeness of a new grain of corn which sprouts seven ears, and each ear has a hundered grains. God (Allah) gives manifold increase to whom He wills. And God (Allah) is All-Sufficient for His creatures' need, All-Knower} (The Holy Quran 2:261). The verse can be saw on the sculpture's base. The sculpture has a prominent place along Jeddah’s Corniche which runs along the Red Sea.
