==Description==
The artwork consists of three pieces: a bronze bust, a black granite shield and a limestone base. The bust is 21 inches tall by 17 inches wide (shoulder to shoulder) and has a depth of 12 inches. The entire sculpture has a height of 28 inches with a width of 25 inches and a depth of 14.5 inches. The bust depicts the 23rd President of the United States, Benjamin Harrison. He is wearing a his favorite overcoat and has a full beard. The only word present on the bust, Harrison, is on a bronze banner across the top of the granite shield. The shield is black Indian granite, the black polished edges showcasing the sandblasted gray interior.〔 The six stars along the right and left flanks represent the six states (North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming) that entered the Union while Harrison was in office, more states than any other president. The shield design was dually-inspired; both from Harrison's 1888 campaign slogan "Protection and Reciprocity" and also recalls the shape of the Indiana State Tree, the tulip or "poplar" . The sculpture was made in the artist's studio in Kirklin and cast in bronze at the SinCerus Bronze Art Center in Indianapolis.〔
