Lee, Davis, and Jackson on a Civil War memorial.

Lee, Davis, and Jackson on a Civil War memorial. The largest bas relief sculpture in the world, the Confederate Memorial Carving depicts three Confederate leaders of the Civil War, President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson (and their favorite horses, "Blackjack," "Traveller" and "Old Sorrel," respectively). The entire carved surface measures 3 acres (12,000 m2 ), about the size of three football fields. The carving of the three men towers 400 feet (120 m) above the ground, measures 90 by 190 feet (58 m), and is recessed 42 feet (13 m) into the mountain. The deepest point of the carving is at Lee's elbow, which is 12 feet (3.7 m) to the mountain's surface. - Wikipedia
