It weighed 26,000 pounds (12,000 kg), and was said to be the largest sculpture created in the 19th century.It was carved in Italy and shipped to Fairmount Park in Philadelphia for the nation's 1876 Centennial Exposition. It was later moved to Independence Mall and now (2019) stands in front of the National Museum of American Jewish History.
