This delicately detailed reproduction of the Capitol dome is an historic treasure offered in some of the original marble from the East Front of the Capitol. The marble is crushed into a fine powder; resin is added to hold the fine particles together and molded into the classic shapes. A fine addition to a thimble collector's treasures, this Society original comes in a beautiful presentation gift box with provenance card. Size is approximately 1 1/2 by 1 inches. Gift boxed for presentation.
