Here you can see the so-called "Het Ei van Ko". It is oval, like the city center of Enschede, and shows a fountain and four bronze figures: father, mother, child and a dog. This is supposed to represent a family.

In the square in front of Enschede's town hall, you'll find a work of art consisting of several ellipses. The artist Joop Hekman was inspired by the oval shape of the streets in the city center between 1981 and 1983. The work features bronze human figures in a playful arrangement. A child plays in the water of the fountain, next to it, his mother, his father watching, and a Chow Chow. The artist used his own dog as a model for this dog.
