A Few Sculptures
The cornerstone that was unearthed by the workers of the monument’s restoration work has also some sculptures stored in it. In an interview given to WBAL, a very enthusiastic Humphries stated that it was quite amazing to see the cornerstone have some panels with pretty decorations by the carvers and masons with a specialization in stones. These artifacts dated back to the early 1800s and now, they carry significant value as antiques. The revelation was quite awaited and it gathered quite many people at the time.
A Few Sculptures
In Perfect Condition
The aspect that has surprised everyone is how all the items that are kept in the capsule were in the perfect condition. Though there are a few details that were damaged by water but the glass jars that were used served their purpose. Apart from some minor damages that were done by the water over the last 200 years. The jars were sealed airtight and the quality was also quite thick. The reason why there was minimal damage was also how snugly the items were kept in the cornerstone.
