The statue relief, approximately 2 feet high, is adorned by cornucopias at her feet on either side. Scrolling patterns frame the sculpture. I could not learn anything of the actual sculptor. This is the former location of the Damen Avenue Branch of the Chicago Public Library, and (not too surprisingly) the Liberty Savings & Loan before that, located at 2056 N. Damen Avenue. Currently the site is unoccupied.
Location: above building doorway at Damen & Dickens
Pedestal?: No
