Glasswork ‘Kimjongilia`
It is a gift presented to Chairman Kim Jong Il by Russia`s Orchestra of the 21st Century in April Juche 99(2010).
The gift was made of different colours of glass and metal band.
While conveying the gift, the head of the orchestra who is also its chief conductor said about the significance of the gift:
“The seven Kimjongilias depicted in the glasswork symbolize the Great Bear in the immortal song `Where Are You, Dear General?`. In the past, we used to put this song on the stage with profound reverence and yearning for the Chairman. Therefore before this visit to the DPRK I gave the design of the gift to a mirror production factory in Moscow and saw to it that the best technicians were mobilized to complete the gift with much labour by reflecting the unanimous mind of all the members of the orchestra who ardently yearn for and follow the Chairman. We earnestly request to surely convey this present reflecting all our mind to Chairman Kim Jong Il.”
