A: Ink drawing of two stylized eagles or eagle feathers on white paper. Black ink has bled to blue. Tape residue outlines drawn lines. A horizontal line runs between both the top and bottom points of the two eagles. Between these two horizontal lines are two vertical lines with arrows at each end. At the bottom of these arrows (and disrupting their path) is the handwritten text: "A 25' B 18' ". Both the "A" and the "B" are circled. The bottom section of the illustration on the proper left is circled and the text "SEE NOTE" and a arrow next to the circle. Below the illustration and along the lower edge is five lines of text:
"PROPOSAL A A SINGLE EAGLE 25' HIGH // POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL"
"PROPOSAL B 2 18' EAGLES FACING ONE ANOTHER / PAST & FUTURE"
"// POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL //"
"NOTE * THIS ARIA CAN BE DESIGNED TO BOLT ON TO A BASE WHICH THE CENT. COM."
"COULD PLACE A 'TIME CAPSUL' FOR 2080 // THIS STAINLESS STEEL SHOULD LAST 1000 YEARS"
Verso has tape on the upper proper right and lower proper left corners. In the upper proper left corner is the number "14" handwritten in black ink.

B: A black, white, gray and green drawing on tan colored mat board. A white and gray stylized eagle or eagle feather is at center. Sweeping black shapes are behind the eagle running from the upper proper left comer to the proper right side. White, gree, and gray lines extend from the eagle to the edges of the page creating a geometric pattern. Between two green lines near the bottom of the eagle are the years "1880 1980 2080"; they are in black paint. Verso is blank. Tape residue along lower and upper edges.
