The statue at the top of the dome is called Miss Freedom.
Miss Freedom is 15-feet tall, and weighs 2,000 pounds. It is made from sheets of copper.
Although the records have been lost to time, it is believed that Miss Freedom was not specifically made for the Georgia capitol. Historians believe she was ordered from a catalog from the W.H. Mullins Manufacturing Company of Salem, Ohio.
