Symbol of Poland Reborn & the Polish Pavillion (1939 World's Fair)

The huge stained glass window in the Polish Museum of America was manufactured in Krakow for the Polish Pavilion for the 1939 World’s Fair. The woman in the middle is holding a sword and a sheaf of wheat representing the need to defend Poland and provide for its people. The edges have depictions of various Polish cities and trades. The national symbol of a white eagle wearing a crown is at the bottom and an image of the Virgin Mary is at the top.
