Shaker Wooden Bonnet Mold

Charles Goodwin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large semi-circular shape with a straight edge, resembling an abstract sculpture or a wooden plank. The smooth curved lines and grainy texture suggest the appearance of polished wood. The form could be interpreted as a shield or a boat hull section, with a rounded part leading into a squared-off end.
