• Product Description

• This exclusive National Archives Store ornament meticulously captures Barry Faulkner's iconic Constitution Mural in miniature form. Crafted in the U.S.A., this commemorative piece features intricate etching in solid brass, showcasing the mural's detailed figures during the writing and adoption of the Constitution. The ornament's surface has undergone a special finishing process where the non-printed areas have been permanently plated with a fine layer of 24kt gold. This gilded technique highlights the mural's historic imagery, including George Washington holding the Constitution next to representatives of the original thirteen colonies, with museum-quality precision.

The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the United States of America. The Constitution originally consisted of seven Articles. The first three Articles embody the doctrine of the separation of powers, whereby the federal government is divided into three branches: the legislature, consisting of the bicameral Congress; the executive, consisting of the President; and the judiciary, consisting of the Supreme Court and other federal courts.
