Isaiah's poem on the wall that end with "war any MORE" or peace... V.
BTW similar to Boston, the flower shows the zip code for the area close to dig site. W on top (opposite of E in her other hand) and 10022.

Well it’s all theory until someone probes and digs

I would call that Isaiah verse a line of scripture not a poem. Then again I’m not a poet.

OK , I’ll agree with you that there is a possibility that the casque is in that V shaped planter in Ralph Bunche park.
To me ,from the painting images  , verse and immigration tie in ,Battery Park has a higher probability, again it’s all theory and not saying your wrong.

what was the date that BP gave those Japanese hints, not 1981.

The Japanese version of the book came out in 1983. Byron was interviewed by the Japanese translator by phone prior to publication of the book.

Another interesting tidbit on why BP used the word “ Grey” ( British version ) and not “ Gray “(American version) in the NYC verse line “ in the shadow of the grey giant”.
It so happens that one of the architects of the Maritime memorial at Battery park was ,Gilbert Seltzer born in Toronto ( 1914), graduate of the University of Toronto and a partner with William Gehron in the NYC Architectural firm .
They even talk about the 8 massive ,( giant), 19 foot tall pylons  of  gray granite on line.
