Looking at the underside of the statue "Valor", one of two statues that make up the work "The Arts of War". "The Arts of War" are statues which adorn either side of the northeastern end of Arlington Memorial Bridge in Washington, D.C., in the United States. They were designed by sculptor Leo Friedlander, and erected in 1951. The statue and plinth are of bronze, cast at the Fonderia Artistica foundry in Milan, Italy. The quality of the work was poor, leaving numerous pits (some as deep as 4 mm) and even holes in the surface. The statue was conserved in 1972, with cracks welded were possible and filled with solder and the pieces held together with bracing elsewhere.
