3D wooden puzzle Statue of Liberty by Ugears. DIY model of the main symbol of New York City. No glue needed. The perfect gift for any age and interests. Amazing interior item.
"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…" These words of poet Emma Lazarus are the welcoming invitation of the colossal goddess of liberty presiding over New York harbor. She has come to symbolize New York City, the United States of America and the hope of freedom to people around the world.
Designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, the Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the United States to commemorate the centennial of U.S. independence. Originally a dull copper color, the statue soon took on a green patina. She holds a torch representing progress, and a tablet representing the rule of law, on which is inscribed the date of the Declaration of Independence: July 4, 1776. Her crown has seven rays, evoking the sun, the seven seas, and the seven continents—Lady Liberty extends her light to the entire world. Under her feet lies a broken chain, representing the emancipation of slaves. It took six years to raise the funds to build the pedestal, and the completed statue was dedicated in 1886.
