And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

This is a custom-commissioned architectural sculptural door, potentially made of bronze or another metal, created by artist Deran Wright.
The door features intricate bas-relief carvings with a central "Tree of Life" motif.
It is set within a rustic stone archway.
The door is a site-specific installation, at the Bell Tower Door at the Barbara Johnson Prickett Chapel at Westminster schools in Atlanta, Georgia.
The unique design includes figures surrounding the tree and a crowd scene at the bottom.
It never ceases to amaze me that people seeing these excellent examples of entrances in various place throughout the world seem incurious to discover where they are located and if there's any story that goes with the picture.
Google Images has yet to be stumped in identifying the who, what, where, and when behind these extraordinary works of art.
Imagine living in or walking past the buildings housing these functional museum pieces daily.
Looks like cast brass or iron. If so, a stunning achievement.
