The goddess on top of the U.S. Capitol is known as Freedom, or sometimes as the Statue of Freedom. Designed by sculptor Thomas Crawford, she stands 19.5 feet tall and is made of bronze. The statue depicts a female figure wearing a helmet and holding a staff topped with a liberty cap, symbolizing freedom and democracy. The statue was placed atop the Capitol dome in 1863.
