  • A depiction of the Americas, personified as an indigenous woman wearing a feathered headdress and holding a rolled up Constitution, being offered a Holy Bible by a kneeling woman (potentially a personification of Europe?) while Liberty looks on, depicted as a woman in a Greek-style himation and carrying a Liberty pole topped with a cap of liberty. On the right, behind America is a plinth with a list of names: Washington, Montgomery, Greene, Franklin, Warren, Adams, Mercer, Putnam, Jay, Clinton, Gates, Morris, and Fayette. On the left, in the background, is a Greek-style temple topped with statues of Justice, Liberty, and Peace. The pediment depicts the motto and eagle of the United States, while the architrave reads "SACRED TO LIBERTY JUSTICE & PEACE". Placed above the main image is another depiction of Liberty and Justice flanking a shield with a rising sun beneath an eagle perched atop a globe.
