Veteran's Regional Administration Building Relief - Columbia, SC - Relief Art Sculptures on Waymarking.com

Description: Relief sculpture incorporated into the facade of a building consists of a group of five people in an agricultural setting. At the far left next to a tree stands a bearded man wearing a suit and frock coat. He holds an open book in his proper right hand. He looks at a man in workclothes who holds tobacco leaves. A shirtless, barefoot boy stands in front of them, holding four ears of corn in his proper left hand. A shirtless man in overalls looks towards the bearded man. He holds a tool handle in his proper right hand. A woman in a plain dress and bunned hair stands at the back, right, balancing a basket of fruit on her head. A cow stands behind the bearded man who stands on a crate. The boy is walking, and guiding a pig with a stick. Two cylindric baskets of fruit stand between the woman and the man in overalls.

Remarks: There is some connection between the sculpture on this building and another at Clemson University, which accounts for the agricultural motif. GSA building reference number is: SC0020ZZ.
