A carved and painted cone which emits a laser beam up some 6 m up into the night sky (non-working). It represents a spool of thread that is intertwined with the story of Coventry's past. Designs have been cut and carved into the surface of the sculpture, including a bull sitting in a yard in front of a building with an archway and behind that is the Coventry spires reflecting its position in Bulls Yard. The cone has many other locally significant symbols and icons and is olive green in colour. It was selected by the people of Coventry from a range of models that were exhibited.
