Pa. German Butter Mold

Roy Weber

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a central pineapple surrounded by symmetrical leafy fronds and a rimmed border forming a semi-circular shape. The color appears to be a muted, earthy tone, suggesting a natural material like wood or stone. The surface showcases carved details, including textures and fine lines on the pineapple and leaves, creating depth and intricacy. The overall impression is decorative and possibly functional for architectural or interior embellishment.
