Iron Cross

Dayton Brown

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a decorative metal cross with stylistic arrowhead ends as the central and largest object. It is positioned in the center of a plain background. The cross has a rusty brown color, giving it a worn and aged appearance. The background is light beige. Below the cross, near the bottom right, there is a small inscription or label. The cross is centered within the frame, with the horizontal bar just above the midpoint of the vertical line, creating a traditional cross shape.
