Arnold Friberg overcomes lack of description in LDS scriptures

Biblical artists who tried to recreate Moses and the ten commandments faced many challenges. Nowhere in the scriptures is there an indication of the size of the tablets, their weight, their thickness, or any other physical details.

Arnold Friberg faced a similar challenge when he sought to depict the Liahona. All the artist had to work with was this  scripture from the Book of Mormon: “It was a round ball of curious workmanship; and it was fine brass. And within the ball were two spindles; and the one pointed the way whither we should go into the wilderness.”

There is a lack of artistic descriptive words. Nowhere is there a description of its appearance or its size in any greater detail for Friberg to use.

In the end Friberg decision was to make the Liahona an object that could be easily transported. The artist decided that it would be approximately five inches in diameter so that it could fit comfortably in a man’s hand. Friberg also felt that since it was round, the Liahona would probably have some sort of stand to hold it while not in use. So a round stand with three legs were created into which the Liahona would rest.
