The Flower Thrower figurine produced by Kevin Francis Ceramics of Stoke-on-Trent, England, in a 2018 limited edition of 100. This piece of a protester throwing a bouquet of flowers may be Banksy's most famous piece thus far. The remarkable idea behind this piece is the use of unexpected weapons. The protester fights not with a grenade or other harmful device, but with an innocent bouquet of flowers. This suggests we may be able to get more done by negotiating kindly, not malevolently. To many people it is a symbol of peace and hope in the face of adversity and destruction. The masked rioter is throwing not a Molotov Cocktail but a bouquet of flowers
