The bronze mailbox is one of the city's most renowned.
At the top is the bald eagle, the symbol of the United States and the Post Office, holding the usual arrows.
Below are two griffins, in proud winged glory.
Also there are the usual Egyptian plants stylized, including the lotus.
On close inspection one can spot tiny honeybees.

There are many bronze decorations in the building, inside and out, often repeated in long strings.
In addition to the griffins, there are antelopes, a depiction of what may also be a Mesopotamian person, and in addition heads of oxen (on columns near the revolving doors on the inside), and aurochs (a now-extinct species of bull).

In many places there are rows of plants, with the lotus and papyrus flower predominating.
Papyrus appears like a broom, sticking up.
 Also one may note the anthemion (a palmette design) and many rosettes.
