Leaf-shaped Trivet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Leaf-shaped Trivet by an unknown artist is a bronze object with a leaf-like shape and a flat base. The object has a curved shape resembling a leaf with a rounded tip pointing to the bottom-right. It has three legs, one in the front center and one on either side near the back. The top surface features a decorative cutout design with a large central hole and curvilinear shapes extending outward. The entire object exhibits a dark brown patina with areas of lighter brown and green, indicating age and wear. The background is dark gray to black, gradating from light at the bottom to dark at the top.
