Given by the Commonwealth of Virginia, a copy of famous statue of George Washington, sculpted by Jean-Antoine Houdon made from life and display in the Virginia State Capitol since 1796.
The statue shows Washington resting upon a ‘fasces’; a collection of wooden rods which the Romans employed as a symbol of authority. There are thirteen sticks in Washington’s bundle, representative of America’s original thirteen states.
