Lectern

Cleveland Museum of Art

The lectern by artist, is a lectern made of dark brown metal, possibly bronze or wood with a dark patina. The base is shaped like a wide, flat triangle with curved edges. It has three curved legs with scroll-like designs on them. A long, thin stem rises from the base, with ornate carvings of leaves and flowers. The stem widens slightly at the top and bottom. At the top of the stem is a shield-shaped crest with a crown on top and a cross in the center. The crest has curved wings on either side and is decorated with intricate carvings. The background is a gradient from light gray to dark gray. The image shows the object centered against a plain background.
