Pa. German Butter Mold

Alfred H. Smith

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a rooster in a standing position with its head turned slightly to the side. It is circular with a raised relief style, giving the rooster a three-dimensional appearance. It is crafted from material that appears to be wood, giving it a natural brown color with variations in tone. The background features small cross-hatch designs. The feathers and rooster's form are stylized yet clear.
