Description
An image of the window and mosaic featured on the northern side of the Great Gate at the University of Western Australia, Crawley. The University commissioned artist Mervyn Napier Waller to design and produce the mosaic positioned above the window to the Senate chamber in 1931. The mosaic, known as the ‘Five Lamps of Learning’, features five figures who each represent one of the virtues of wisdom, understanding, counsel, courage and knowledge (For more information on the ‘Five Lamps of Learning’ mosaic, see the UWA Archives website: http://archives.uwa.edu.au/page/84543, accessed 1/2/2011).
