Statue of Plenty: World’s Columbian Exposition

Extending a stalk of maize above the figure of a bull, a female figure looks out onto the Grand Basin with the Peristyle seen at background left. Plenty was sculpted by American Edward Clark Potter (1857-1923) from staff: a temporary material made from plaster, cement and jute fibers.
