In the picturesque Bolwerk park, you can find this special and artistically designed stone table. However, this is not just any table; it is a carefully crafted work of art that symbolises a mandorla, an aureole that holds both mystical and cultural significance.

The table, carved from a large piece of natural stone, displays a series of refined details that refer to the complex and often spiritual symbolism of the nimbus. Mandorlas are interpreted in different ways by various cultures worldwide, but they often symbolise light, knowledge, and the life force that permeates everything. This nimbus celebrates the light that dispels darkness, similar to the sun spreading its warm rays over the earth and supporting life in all its richness.
