This photograph shows a close-up view of the bill hopper in the House Chamber. The hopper, where Representatives introduce hard copies of bills, is affixed to the side of rostrum next to the bill clerk’s seat. The camera also captures details carved into the rostrum’s walnut wood: the wreath of oak leaves on the side symbolizes longevity, and the fasces, or bundled sticks, along the top edge convey strength in unity.
