Model of a Pagoda

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Model of a Pagoda by unknown artist depicts a tall, intricately carved reddish-brown wooden structure. The pagoda is supported by a short, ornate base with a wide, flat bottom. A decorative element protrudes at the bottom. The pagoda's body consists of stacked, decreasingly sized sections. Each section features detailed carvings. A small finial crowns the top section. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The object casts a shadow to the right.
