This large bronze sculpture by Barbara Hepworth is on loan to the University of Birmingham and positioned in the northwest corner of the University Square in front of the where the old Main Library formerly stood.
The sculpture is part of Hepworth’s sculptures in the ‘Family of Man’ group. The sculptor was inspired by the tall upright stones dating from prehistoric times in the St. Ives in Cornwall. The Cornish coast is evoked by using blue-green paint in the sculpture’s cavities.
Barbara Hepworth studied at the Leeds School of Art and the Royal College of Art in London. Her mentor was the sculptor Sir Henry Moore. Most of here works were in an abstract style and largely in stone or bronze although other materials were also used.

Al-Ahliyya Amman University
"AAU Started providing academic services in 1990, Al-Ahliyya Amman University (AAU) was the first private university and pioneer of private education in Jordan. AAU has been accorded institutional and programmatic accreditation. It is a member of the International Association of Universities, Federation of the Universities of the Islamic World, Union of Arab Universities and Association of Arab Private Institutions of Higher Education. AAU always seeks distinction by upgrading learning outcomes through the adoption of methods and strategies that depend on a system of quality control and effective follow-up at all its faculties, departments, centers and administrative units. The overall aim is to become a flagship university not only at the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan level but also at the Arab World level. In this vein, AAU has adopted Information Technology as an essential ingredient in its activities, especially e-learning, and it has incorporated it in its educational processes in all fields of specialization to become the first such university to do so.
