I always thought of any cylindrical piece of wood (up to about 1" dia.) as a dowel...

Here's the kit I use when dowelling...

A peg is used to hold the washing on the washing line.

Your pictured jig mentions "dowel pins". Here they are just called "dowels" used to make a dowelled joint.

[GNEP]

And you shouldn't confuse them with "towels" which are used to dry yourself after a shower or bath.

Isn't a peg used for hanging clothes as well?

Oxford dixit:

v.tr. (dowelled, dowelling; US doweled, doweling) fasten with a dowel or dowels.
[Middle English from Middle Low German dovel: perhaps related to thole1]

Back to the game...

Do we have to guess precisely who the statue is and which building they are on?

I would guess it is a famous University as it looks like he is wearing a mortar-board.

[Brian Ellis]

Just name the building!

Come on, guys, you all have seen it in photos, on TV, and probably many in real life.
Clue: it is not in Europe.

Oh well, that narrows it down a lot

Which continent?

The U.S. Capitol: Statue of Freedom

Bingo, KvH. A tiny piece of this photo, taken from the steps of one of the Smithsonian museums, possibly the National Art Gallery, just over a year ago.

Your turn...

Alright, here you go..
