Specifications include, but are not limited to: he project scope is to create a representative full-length statue of Daisy Lee Gatson Bates in either bronze or marble, as well as the pedestal on which the statue will rest. Background information to guide respondents in determining the approximate age of Daisy Lee Gatson Bates to be represented in the statue may be provided by the Committee. The sculpture should be over life-sized, with a height between seven (7) and eight (8) feet. Seven (7) feet is the average height of a statue in the National Statuary Hall Collection. The separate pedestal on which the sculpture stands must be hollow with a steel frame construction and faced with marble or granite (Arkansas materials are strongly preferred, if available). It is recommended that the pedestal be designed and constructed with a removable panel (usually in the back) to allow access to attachment bolts. The pedestal design is integral to the statue and should help commemorate Daisy Lee Gatson Bates.
