Court of Abundance:

Groups on the altar in the main tower - Chester Beach
These groups constitute the historical composition in the tower on the
north side of the court. Beginning with the lower one, they represent
the primitive ages, the middle ages, and modern times.

Group at column bases and finials - Leo Lentelli
Decorative figures. Used four times at the base of the shaft near the
tower. A single finial figure of a girl with a bow is used on top of the
same column.

Fountain of the Earth (central pool) - Robert I. Aitken
An architectural composition telling the story of human life in its many
phases. The outstretched arms on the south side represent destiny giving
and taking life.

Figures on top of the Arcade - Albert Weinert
Primitive men, with the pelican and deer; the mother with a child is
repeated all around the court.

Aquatic Life (north extension) - Sherry B. Fry
A figure which might represent Neptune's daughter. This figure stands
north of the tower in the open space toward the Marina below, between
the Palaces of Transportation and Mines.

Court of the Universe:

The Nations of the East; The Nations of the West - A. Stirling Calder,
Leo Lentelli, and Frederick C. R. Roth, collaborators.
