The Promised Land by Franklin Simmons. Gray statue of a woman against a black background. The statue depicts a woman wearing a long dress and laurel crown on her head. The woman's hair falls to her shoulders in waves. She kneels on her left knee, with her right knee bent in front of her. Her left arm rests on her left knee and her right arm rests on an object. The object is cylindrical and resembles stacked bricks or stones. The base of the statue says "THE PROMISED LAND". The woman wears a short sleeve on her left arm and a longer sleeve on her right arm. The woman's right foot is bare and her left foot wears a sandal. The statue has small flowers on the base near the woman's right foot. The woman looks to her right with a serious expression. The woman's dress has folds and draping, a belt around her waist. The background behind the statue is solid black.
