This image presents a bronze monument situated in an outdoor park or museum-like setting within the city of Athi River ward, Kenya. The monument's central feature is a bronze sculpture depicting two children, a boy and a girl, standing on either side of a small, horned antelope, their hands resting on its back. The sculpture rests on a multi-tiered pedestal. The lower section of the pedestal is constructed from irregularly shaped, rounded natural stones of varying sizes. Above this, a rectangular dark plaque contains engraved text and two relief animal images: a rhinoceros on the left and a giant panda on the right. Partially legible text on the plaque indicates the monument is a "symbol of international friendship" unveiled on February 1, 1975, resulting from a campaign by Dutch children in support of the "National Animal of Kenya" and organized by the Kenya National Museums and the World Wildlife Fund. The monument is elevated on a base composed of reddish-brown flagstones, with additional flagstones forming steps around it. The ground immediately surrounding the monument and extending into the foreground consists of reddish-brown earth, with scattered dried leaves. To the left of the monument, in the mid-ground, a large, conical or pyramidal structure made of wire mesh or netting is visible, suggesting an aviary or animal enclosure. Dense green trees and foliage form a prominent, lush background, indicating a well-vegetated environment. A dirt pathway runs along the right side of the monument, bordered by a low fence or curb. A solitary individual in a dark green uniform is faintly visible in the mid-ground on the far right, near a fence, partially obscured by vegetation. The scene is illuminated by bright daylight.
