The following explanation was on a plaque beside the artwork:
"The Clover Map, drawn by Heinrich Bunting in 1585. Jerusalem is placed in the center of a large three-leaf clover resembling eyes, also comprised of the three continents of the old world. In the artist's vision, Jerusalem is depicted as a city of large structures and fortresses, as befitting an important and central city. Then, as now, Jerusalem shines forth like a precious jewel, drawing in nations, wishing to bask in her light, enjoy her beauty and dwell in her holiness. In due time she will serve as a beacon of peace to her neighbors and to the entire world."
Designed and created in ceramic with traditional elements by the Jerusalem artist, Arman Darian, Safra Square, Jerusalem
