Stepping Stone

Edward DiGennero

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a rectangular wooden block with a horse carving. The image showcases a textured wooden block that appears to have been carved to include a small horse figure on its surface. The surface of the block is relatively rough, indicating its wood grain texture with natural imperfections like small knots or grain lines. The horse carving is detailed, depicting the animal in a walking pose. Adjacent to the horse figure, on the right side of the block, there is an extension resembling a smaller, thinner block with the number "312" engraved on it. The backdrop is plain, emphasizing the central object.
