Lamp, Upper Portion

after Andrea Briosco, called Riccio

National Gallery of Art

This is a small, round, bronze-colored metal piece with an open circle in the center. It features a raised design depicting humans and objects, although a dark patina obscures some of the designs on the metal. Along with the central opening, there are three smaller circles around the edge of the object, as if to attach it to something.
