Andiron

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black metal andiron titled "Andiron" by the artist. Two identical andirons side by side on a light gray background. Each andiron features a humanoid figure with a smooth, featureless body and a detailed head with a straight face and short hair sitting atop a three-legged base. The humanoid figure's arms are folded across their waist. A long, thick piece of metal extends perpendicularly from the back of each base, forming an upside-down T-shape. The andirons cast shadows to the left.
