A millstone (in its original form) is the base of blue cypress tree. The tree is in the center of the upper stone (Rechev). The tree is shaped as a thick trunck, out of it raise up four blue iron lines that form together
the image of the tree but also may bring to mind an image of a raising flame. On the side of the upper stone, in a hole into which a wooden handle for spinning the stone used to be attached the artist placed a rusty iron bar that used
to be a part of a Jerusalem window bars. The bar looks like the end of lance or a similar weapon. The flame-like tree and the rusty lance conjure together a strong image of military cemeteries surrounded by cypress trees.
