Description
- Abstract:
- A low relief depicts three freedom seekers against the map of Ohio: a father, mother, and young boy. The male figure is show in profile wearing a soft brimmed hat, holding a walking cane, and dressed in simple shirt and pants with worn shoes ( a hole is visible). The woman is between the man and young boy, holding both of their hands. She is wearing a head wrap, simple top and skirt, and a shawl on around her shoulders. Like the young boy, she is barefoot. With short hair, the young boy wears a button shirt with rolled up pants. Over his shoulder is a small sack. The artist signature, Danhires, is located near the bare feet of the young boy.
