Tripod Base

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Tripod Base by unknown artist shows a bronze object with a green patina. The object has a wide, circular top with a smaller circular indentation in the center. Three curved legs extend from the base, each ending in a claw-like foot. The legs are connected by an ornate, leaf-like design. The body of the object features intricate carvings depicting people engaged in various activities. A decorative border runs along the top edge. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
