Pa. German Butter Mold

Charlotte Angus

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a circular shape with symmetrical sharp lines converging towards the center, creating a star-like pattern. The design resembles a wooden relief carving with facets that interact with light and shadow. Triangular shapes interlock to create a geometric pattern within the circle, similar to a carved wooden rosette or decorative medallion. Smaller triangles fill the outer circle, enhancing the star pattern and adding depth to the overall design.
