Pa. German Butter Mold

Albert Levone

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a circular shape with intricate abstract patterns inside it. Central to the design are geometric forms resembling a large eye or an observant bird, surrounded by symmetrical lines and shapes that could suggest feathers or a fan-like structure. Two stylized birds facing each other are depicted along with a repetitive triangular pattern along the outer edge of the circle.
