About the Item

Early 20th-century marble bank frieze plaque, salvaged from a local bank built in 1929 in Stamford, Connecticut. The plaque features a single bee, a beehive, and coins in relief, a banking symbol associated with thrift, hard work, and the accumulation of wealth. The composition is presented as part of the visual language used by 19th- and 20th-century savings banks. The piece is solid marble and is estimated to weigh 1,000 lbs. It needs a good cleaning but is otherwise in very good condition.
