SPRING MARKETPLACE COLUMBUS DOOR BOOKENDS
Crafted from the marble of the east front steps during the 1995 renovations, these bookends are based on the 17' and 20,000-pound bronze doors in the east front of the Capitol building. The doors have a curved semi-circular tympanum above two valves that are divided into four panels which depict the life of Christopher Columbus. Engraved in the base of the bookends is a quote by Carl Sandburg, "Whenever a People or an Institution Forgets its Hard Beginnings it is Beginning to Decay." (9 1/2" T x 5"Wx 3" D)
