Lewis and Clark, Historic marble sculpture at Oregon State Capitol, Salem, United States.
The white Vermont marble relief sculpture depicts captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark alongside Sacagawea at the entrance of the Oregon State Capitol building.
Leo Friedlander created this monumental work in 1934, capturing the essence of the Corps of Discovery expedition that explored western territories from 1804 to 1806.
The back panel includes detailed illustrations of hunting scenes and encounters between explorers and Native American communities during their transcontinental journey.
Visitors can examine both the front relief and the reverse side containing a map that traces the entire route taken by the Lewis and Clark expedition.
The sculpture bears the title 'Westward the Star of Empire Takes Its Way' and forms part of the extensive Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail system.
