Here comes our George Washington Ornament, depicting the Founding Father as painted by Barry Faulkner on the National Archives' Constitution Mural. Have this larger-than-life figure bless your home when you proudly display him on your tree, in your window, or collection.

In 1933, the chief architect of the National Archives, J. Russell Pope, recommended approval of a two-year contract to hire Barry Faulkner, a noted American muralist, to paint a mural for the Exhibit Hall in the planned Rotunda of the National Archives Building. The result was two large oil-on-canvas murals, each about 14 feet by 37 1/2 feet. One mural honors the signers of the Declaration and the other those who signed the Constitution.
