Olympic Flower

It is reported that the Iranian sculptor, Jamshid Moradian, will visit Italy to take part in the third Symposium of Mountains and the Winter Olympic Games.

He will create the symbol for the Winter Olympic Games 2005, known as the "Olympic Flower".

The design depicts a rock from which five olive leaves, representing the 5 continents, protrude. Each of the leaves has a ring of the Olympics emerging from below.

The artistic work will be carved onto the mountain, and will be illuminated by lamps.
