Toy Bank: Donkey and House

Jennie Kamar

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a small structure resembling a house with a slanted roof and a distinctive arched entrance or window. Adjacent to this structure is a figure of a donkey positioned as if standing or approaching the house. The entire sculpture appears to be crafted from a metallic material, exhibiting shades of grey and silver, with some areas reflecting light, suggesting a smooth surface. The structure itself has a pattern on its sides, possibly indicating doors or windows, and it rests on a flat rectangular base. The sculpture seems to be a miniature in size compared to real-life scale.
