Rotunda-Clock
The Rotunda Clock by John Flanagan. Thomas Jefferson Building, Washington, D.C. In a square panel about 2.6 m on a side, a dial structure is arranged in various marbles (rich deep red, sienna, green African), overlaid with malachite, lapis lazuli, thulite, and other semiprecious stones. The dial is a sun in gilt bronze about 0.92 m in diameter, framed with a wreath and garlands of oak and laurel in bronze patina. The hands are two intertwining serpents in enameled copper. The seated figure to the left is a student reading; to the right, a student writing.
