Remarks:
The sculpture is enclosed by a chain link fence approximately 4 feet in height. There are planters on either side of the piece. Small square areas on the north and south sides of the pedestal are filled in with Portland cement, suggesting that there may have been plaques. The figure appears to have been reinstalled on the base and affixed with Portland cement.
