This rendering is of “Mantle,” the proposed $900,000 tribute to Virginia’s Native Americans that New York artist Alan Michelson designed for Capitol Square in Richmond. The monument is to be shaped like a nautilus, a spiral seashell, with the main features to include a walkway, a reflecting pool and a stone wall on which to sit and meditate. It will be located on the Capitol grounds, near 9th street, between the Bell Tower and the Grace Street entrance.
