In Boston, within the Northeastern University campus, is a scupture titled, "Pharah."
The sculpture is outside the entrance to Dockster Hall, near the corner of Forsyth Street and Greenleaf Street. Dockster Hall is currently a building of Northeastern University's Law School.
The sculpture is a steel or iron structure, mostly black, with a red ball on one side. Several angular structures form sort of like wings extended vertically. Thin crossbars extend to the sides, and a ring surrounds the red ball. The bottom of the structure has angled iron pieces. The sculpture is on a square, black granite base. On the base is the following inscription:
"Pharah
Gift of the Class of 1946
Artist
Raphael Consuegra
1996"
I can't find much else about the sculpture. It was probably installed when Northeastern University expanded about 2000.
