The giant pine cone
When I saw this piece of modern, public art near the harbour in Valletta, Malta, my first association was a pine cone. Which I kind guessed was not the intended meaning.
(Edit)
But thanks to Ilona here on Flickr for finding out what this sculpture actually is. Let me present 'A flame that never dies' (Fjamma li ma tmut qatt in Maltese), unveiled in 2017 and celebrating the independence of the Maltese people and the making of their own nation. It is made by the sculptor and architect Valerio Schembri.
Still looks like a pine cone to me. That is not to say I don't like it, though, because I do.
