Yes, Henk, Jerusalem is the city.

Is this all you need Levina? Has Henk done enough?

Well, I’m not sure, Roy. I mean I would like to know the location of the object, but the other time I clearly asked too much, so I’m not sure if I can ask for more than the city?

The stones are either mill stones or gate stones. If the last it may be close to Herods Tomb?

Millstones is a good guess, Henk. Except these stones aren’t actually that.
It isn’t Herod’s Tomb.

Are the stones segments of ancient columns?

I think they are gate stones: rolled in front of the entrance to a tomb. There are many tombs around Jerusalem like the "tomb Garden"

Henk (edit: and Nigel), let me put it this way: no, they are not gate stones and they are not mill stones. But it is no accident that you think they are.

Yes, it is indeed the Israel museum, Ed.

More precisely, the piece is in the Billy Rose art garden of the museum.
It is called Negev (after the desert), made by Magdalena Abakanowicz.

The stones were hewn out of limestone in a quarry in the Negev desert and, according to the Israel museum:

Being located in Jerusalem, Negev evokes associations with local olive crushing, millstones, and the prehistoric shores of the Mediterranean, where the wheel was in use very early on. The seven-wheeled sculpture also alludes symbolically to the seven ancient gates of Jerusalem, to the seven days of Creation, to the cult of the sun, to oneness and perfection, and even, in a slightly more remote context, to the monumental and enigmatic stone circle of Stonehenge.

Over to you, Ed.

Thanks Levina. Here is one that might be quite difficult. The place is recognisable if you have been there and it is relatively well known.
