Pewter Bobeche

Cleveland Museum of Art

The "Pewter Bobeche" by unknown artist is a small, dark gray, cylindrical object with a wide, shallow top. The top is circular and has a beaded edge. A large, circular indentation in the center of the top gives the appearance of a shallow dish or cap. The base is narrower and cylindrical. The object appears to be made of pewter and has a slightly textured surface with some scratches and marks. The background is plain white with a slight shadow underneath the object.
