When I was google traveling through the U.S., I found something I thought was beautiful and may be of interest to some of you. It's a piece of artwork in the Supreme Court Chamber in Pennsylvania.


View attachment 16229


"The first of sixteen panels titled, "The Opening of the Book of the Law." Placed over the center door, "Divine Law - The Keynote" represents the first page of an illuminated book. Its central feature is a monogram consisting of the intertwined letters L, A, and W, accompanied by other letters forming the words "Love", "And", and "Wisdom." A face in the background symbolizes Truth. Fifteen additional panels portray different aspects of the law."


The Supreme Court Chamber is in the Pennsylvania pics in U.S. states in the photo forum. It wouldn't let me load it again for some reason. I wanted to insert something so this pic could be enlarged, but don't know how.

It's nice to know the history of our roots when it is portrayed as beautifully as this.
