Peace, a 1922 bronze by Bruce Wilder Saville, rises on Capitol Square on the Ohio Statehouse grounds in Columbus, a female figure on a granite base. The allegorical statue depicts a female figure representing peace, cast in bronze and measuring approximately 13 × 9 × 6 feet. She rests on a granite base that measures approximately 8 feet 4 inches × 11 feet 4 1/2 inches × 5 feet.
An inscription on the memorial's base is set into that plinth. This sculpture was dedicated on June 26, 1923. It was donated by the Woman's Relief Corps, the auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic, which consisted of Union veterans from the American Civil War.
In 1993 the work was surveyed by the Smithsonian Institution’s Save Outdoor Sculpture! program. Stand close to read the inscription and note the scale: the bronze figure rising from its broad granite base, the contrasted textures of metal and stone, the deliberate proportions the artist used to mark this place on the Statehouse grounds.
Bronze against granite, the Woman's Relief Corps' gift has kept its place on Capitol Square since its dedication on June 26, 1923, with the Ohio Statehouse beside it.
