the "Winged Figures of the Republic" are iconic sculptures on the Nevada end of the Hoover Dam. With wings about 30 feet tall, they may be angels, or demons... or far-future humans, still benefiting from the energy output of a structure engineered for the Ages. Sculptor Oskar Hansen, responsible for most of the dam's various heroic and mythical artwork, made the figures from more than four tons of bronze. They sit on bases of black diorite, flanking a 142 ft. high flag pole. This stylish monument to the dam was dedicated in 1935. The figures have weathered to a green patina, but the toes are burnished to a soft gold by countless tourist hands. - See more at: http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/23416#sthash.EQuRcGHm.dpuf
