Galactica CIC Wall Ornament

Above the arches leading to the two major doorways of Galactica’s CIC are circular wall ornaments that show the ship’s name and Battlestar Group number, in this case “BSG-75″.

These ornaments, of which only two exist, are made of wood and painted gold and black. Measuring 33 1/4″ in diameter and 2″ deep, these items are iconic pieces of Galactica’s CIC—particularly as one of these seals were featured at the end of the opening credit sequence in Season 1. Further, the existence of such ornaments are echoed in both Pegasus’s and Valkyrie’s CICs, in addition to various larger ornaments such as those seen at the Caprica Transfer Station in “Razor” and President Richard Adar’s office in Season 2’s “Epiphanies“.
