For a project focused on the cost of building the statue, this article provides key financial context: it states that the statue was commissioned for approximately $159000, a cost that included not only the sculpting itself but also the design, materials, and installation. Funded through private donations and contributions from the university community, the statue was sculpted by artist Wendy M. Ross and unveiled in April 1996. The article also touches on the artistic symbolism embedded in the statue, such as Mason holding the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which connects the monument’s aesthetic elements to the legacy of its namesake Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource George Mason University, Construction Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived <a href="https://pastandpresent.gmu.edu/items/show/16" title="Total cost of George Mason Statue">https://pastandpresent.gmu.edu/items/show/16</a><a href="https://pastandpresent.gmu.edu/items/show/16" title="George Mason Statue Mason's Beloved Landmark"></a> Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available George Mason University Past and Present Team Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1995-08-01 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Abdul Bais Faqirzai Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Article Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Article
