The highly stylized oak leaf design on this pin was adapted from the ornamentation in a window arch in the Jefferson Building's north corridor near the Librarian's Room. The oak has, since ancient times, been a symbol for strength. Its leaf is also associated with the oak-nymph Egeria, who was said to inspire "more than mortal wisdom" in those she favored. By combining the lyrical beauty of the swirling leaf with the oak's imputed strength, this jewelry captures an exciting mixture of power, grace, and elegance in its compact design.
