from Smithsonian writeup:"A rectangular relief plaque featuring an inscription and a portrait of George Washington kneeling in prayer. His hat is on the ground in front of him and his horse stands behind him in a wooded background. The plaque is attached to a boulder."
"The plaque is a facsimile of a plaque on the front of the sub-treasury building in New York City. The plaque was stolen in August of 1978 from its original location along Route 81 north of Binghamton in Otseningo Park."
