Statue of Mary Dyer, Bronze statue near Massachusetts State House, Boston, United States.
The bronze statue depicts Mary Dyer seated on a bench, wearing traditional Quaker attire and gazing downward at her folded hands.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts commissioned this memorial to honor Mary Dyer, who was executed at Boston Common in 1660 for practicing Quakerism.
The statue represents a significant milestone in American religious freedom, marking the transformation from colonial persecution to constitutional protection of beliefs.
Visitors can find the statue at the Massachusetts State House entrance, which remains accessible despite increased security measures after September 2001.
The sculpture exists in three identical versions, with replicas located at Philadelphia's Friends Center and Indiana's Earlham College Stout Meetinghouse.
