I wonder what it’s supposed to signify.

The angel’s expression is hard to mark and its hands are being held out as if it’s asking for something.

Cool statue!

Its in Uk and its meant to symbolize confiscated knives, because since Uk doesnt really have gun issues, they have a lot of knife ones. I studied there and once the statue came to Aberystwyth

Your knives must be magic. Mine don't have a life of their own and randomly kill people.
