Description and history

The concrete or stone sculpture measures approximately 22 ft. 6 in. x 13 ft. x 16 in., and depicts a woman in the foreground with her arm around an eagle, and a man behind her.[1]

The sculpture was commissioned by the General Services Administration's Art-in-Architecture Program in 1960 for $6,800, and installed in 1967. It was surveyed by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in 1994.[1]

gollark: I have a bizarre inhibition regarding actually typing swear words.
