A unique sculpture along the Foreshore Coastal Walkway in New Plymouth, New Zealand is one of many that adorns the waterfront walk.

The Foreshore Coastal Walkway in New Plymouth, New Zealand stretches for seven kilometers along the waterfront where sculptures are placed along the rock formations. This particular sculpture was created by an artist named Filipe Tohi and it is named the Anchor Stone.

This fascinating piece of art is ideal for the setting of the Coastal Walkway and is located near one end of the bridge that crosses the Huatoki Stream. Filipe Tohi is a well known sculptor in New Zealand who came to New Zealand in 1978 and he makes his creations from wood, stone or steel. This has been his full time career since 1992 and he bases his sculptures on the ancient Pacific Island art form of lashing.
