If you like chubby cheeks, a broad nose and a frown, you will love these.
The statue they are supposedly based on is the Statue of Freedom on the top of the Capitol Building in Washington DC shown below.
I could go on but . . . nuff said.

Then I realized, it's the look I get from the wife when I come home late or otherwise screw up.
Good grief, who approves these things anyway? The depiction of her on the $5.00 1922 issue would have been prefect.
