The bronze sculpture in Jordan Park's International Peace Gardens was dedicated in 1991.[2] It measures approximately 36 x 31 x 17 inches and rests on a concrete base which measures approximately 38 x 39 x 26 inches. The artwork depicts two young girls playing cat's cradle. An inscription on the base reads: "PEACE CRADLE / by / Dennis Smith / In Memory of / LOWELL F. TURNER / 1916-1989". The artwork was surveyed by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture" program in 1993.[3]
