The Brazen Serpent Monument :

The serpentine cross sculpture (the Brazen Serpent Monument) at top of Mount Nebo was created by Italian artist Giovanni Fantoni. It is symbolic of the bronze serpent created by Moses in the wilderness (Numbers 21:4-9) and the cross upon which Jesus was crucified (John 3:14-15).
