Pine cone
Bean
The dome of the State House is covered in gold leaf, and so is the ornament you are asking about: a wooden pine-cone. It symbolizes the logging industry, which was very important to the state of Massachusetts in the 18th century.
It's a grasshopper made of solid gold.
The golden ornament that sits atop the dome of the Massachusetts State House in Boston is known as the "golden dome" or "golden ball." It is a gilded copper orb that symbolizes the importance of the state government and has become an iconic feature of the building. The dome was originally designed to be covered with wood, but it was later gilded in gold leaf in the 19th century, enhancing its prominence in Boston's skyline.
