Pa. German Spoon Rack

William H. Edwards

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture consists of a structured assembly divided into three main sections. At the top, there is a large, circular disk with a smaller circle on top, featuring a star-like pattern inside with radiating lines. Below, two rectangular portions have similar decorative motifs, with diamond patterns etched across their borders. The sculpture is composed of a wood-like material, showcasing a warm brown hue that highlights its detailed carvings. In relation to our perspective, the sculpture appears as a flat, vertically-oriented piece.
