These dome designs uses a palette of fine opalescent glass to create a focal centerpiece within the Joint Hearing Room. The design includes 12 lancets arranged in a circular pattern. These repetitive geometric patterns contribute to a sense of elegance and order to the Joint Hearing Room.

One of the main design elements is the Maryland State Tree, the White Oak. Oak leaf patterns and acorns instill a sense of strength and longevity, drawing on symbolism of the mighty oak tree.

Two options are presented for the crown of the dome:

• The crown in Option 1 depicts a compass rose. The compass rose suggest a  sense of direction and purpose. This element also references the naval heritage of the Annapolis area, adding a further layer of significance to the design.
• The crown in Options 2 and 3 depict a stylized version of the state flower (the Black Eyed Susan) and offers a more organic appearance than the compass rose.

Color option 1 has a light amber background while Options 2 and 3 have an off-white background.
