Y-symbol at City Hall-County Building

Posted on 7:16 AM by babli panday


Y-symbol or rather Inverted Y-symbol..
City Hall-County Building..
Sculptural ornamentation on the east entrance or the County Building entrance..
Seal of Cook County..
By Hermon Atkins MacNeil..









However, the actual seal of Cook County does not have the Y-symbol, as seen on the carpet at the entrance of the building.. I have no idea as to why the sculptural seal on the Cook County building facade is different from the actual seal of the Cook County.. Artistic license? Maybe!
