Lloyd Charles Lemcke

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a wooden carving of a shield with a bird at its center. The bird has an elongated beak and prominent wings, appearing to be in mid-flight or landing with its talons extended. The sculpture is made of wood with rich brown tones highlighting its natural grain and texture. It features intricate leaf-like patterns decorating its edges, giving it an embellished appearance. The wood appears polished with a slightly glossy finish, enhancing the carved details. The sculpture is displayed against a plain, light-colored background.
