Summary

Description
English: Three panels with three gold leaf figures each, set above the triple-paneled doorway to the British Empire Building that is part of Rockefeller Center, New York City. The panels were created by the artist Carl Paul Jennewein. The figures represent the major industries and the products traded within the empire: salt, coal, tobacco, wheat, fish, wool, cotton, and sugar. The radial sun symbolizes the global empire on which "the sun never sets".
