Silver Jubilee Crystal Crown, Relief sculpture at Tower Hotel, London Borough of Tower Hamlets, England.
The Silver Jubilee Crystal Crown stands 11 feet tall and weighs two metric tons, crafted from transparent poly(methyl methacrylate) with intricate carved details.
Arthur Fleischmann created this large acrylic sculpture in 1977 using a block initially intended for Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Queen Elizabeth II unveiled this commemorative artwork during her Silver Jubilee celebrations on June 5, 1977, marking 25 years of her reign.
The sculpture resides near St Katharine Docks, mounted on the Tower Hotel wall with backlighting that illuminates its features during evening hours.
This sculpture originated from the largest solid block of acrylic in existence, measuring approximately 10 feet 9 inches by 5 feet 9 inches by 8 inches.
