Artist, American, 1915 - 2002

The sculpture depicts a standing figure in draped classical attire, holding a staff in one hand and an olive branch in the other. The figure is wearing a helmet and appears to be stepping out of stylized waves or clouds at their feet. The color of the sculpture is a dark gray. The design is relief-carved, creating a three-dimensional effect that presents the figure in a proud and upright manner. The word "GUARDIAN" is prominently carved beneath the figure.
