The Enlighten the People Egg commemorates the 250th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson and his passionate commitment to liberty. The creation is inspired by Jefferson's belief that enlightenment leads to freedom and liberation. The Egg is sculpted in fine bone china, hand painted in an array of colors representing the decorative Great Dome of the magnificent reading room in the Library of Congress.
The Egg opens to reveal Jefferson, crafted in vermeil, by a lectern holding the letter mandating his own great private library to the nation. The American Eagle surmounting the lectern and the floor design are found within the Library.
