Indianapolis Soldiers & Sailors Monument (#0231)

Indianapolis Soldiers & Sailors Monument (#0231)
This sculpture on the west side of the monument is two sculptures above a large fountain/pool. “The Return Home” sculpture in the lower portion portrays the returning soldier being met by family. The sculpture above is called Peace and “..represents the homecoming of the victorious troops, the happy reunion of families, and the peaceful emblems of labor.” Most significant to me (zoom to the upper center of the picture):
In the center, the figure of Liberty holds the flag with the Shield of Union, while at her feet a freed slave lifts up his broken chains.”
