This sign hung near the sculpture of the same name in Paradise Garden, providing a portion of the Bible verse that inspired the sculpture: “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them” (Isaiah 11:6).
