Bronze statue of a River Tiber
-1200x600.jpg)
In the Roman manner of personifying rivers, the Tiber reclines, muscular yet at ease, leaning on an urn from which water flows. Symbols cluster around him—cornucopia for plenty, a she-wolf with Romulus and Remus for Rome’s founding—so the statue reads as myth, map, and manifesto at once. Carving is broad and assured, designed to be legible across a grand hall.

What to Look For
- Reclining pose with flowing urn under one arm.
