The Nuba Survival in Checkendon, South Oxfordshire.

In an isolated field near a dilapidated barn stands this chilling portrayal of the plight of the Nuba peoples of Sudan.

There are no signs leading to the striking sculpture or plaques explaining its meaning.

The artwork, depicting two skeletons in an embrace, is titled “The Nuba Survival.” It was created by local Oxfordshire sculptor John Buckley who is best known for his sculpture of a shark sticking out of a roof in Headington,
He created this piece following a visit to the Nuba Mountains in southern Sudan.

John lived in the region from 2000 to 2001 as a guest of the Nuba Rehabilitation, Relief and Development Organisation.

Thirty years of fighting has left the indigenous tribes living in the Nuba Mountains on the edge of survival, what some relief groups are calling an ethnic genocide.
John was struck by the resilience, despite their suffering, of the people he met and created this incredible work to call attention to their plight.

Was a geocache to do with it on the way in to the field, just off the road.
