The New World (sculpture)
The New World is a sculpture by Tom Otterness, installed outside Los Angeles' Edward R. Roybal Federal Building, in the U.S. state of California. Description 
The work is installed in a central plaza in three parts. One fountain has a reclining bronze child and a bronze globe. A niche in a pillar has an abstract metal female figure on a chair. Her ankle is chained to the wall. An overhead cast concrete frieze runs along a pergola and down its columns. The frieze has abstract human figures carrying balls, boxes, and pillars. A human figure in the center of the frieze has multiple arms and holds a knife in one hand and a decapitated human head in another. A nearby human figure clings to the underside of a rhinoceros, and another depicts a human figure with an elephant. History
