Pa. German Butter Mold

Albert Levone

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a circular medallion. The medallion features a central sunburst motif surrounded by a pattern of geometric shapes, arrows, and floral forms. The carving shows great attention to detail, with radial symmetry drawing the eye toward the center. The material is textured and shaded to emphasize the carved details. The composition blends natural and geometric elements harmoniously.
