Kera is on display in front of the Village of Keremeos Municipal Hall. Keri is one of two sculptures commissioned as public art by the South Similkameen Arts Society in July 2018. It was part of the down-town visual enhancement project funded by the Ministry of Forests' Rural Dividend Fund.
Talented artist Bob Terry's Kera was constructed with rebar and metal pieces, which included everything from kitchen knives to a hammer head. Two baby quails are also included in the piece.
