Spice Box

Edward L. Loper

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a metal box with an open lid, revealing a central cylindrical compartment with perforations on its side. The lid's inside surface displays a star pattern made of dots. The box and its lid appear rusty with shades of brown and a worn metallic surface, reflecting a color palette of muted browns and grays. The box is positioned centrally in the frame, slightly rotated to the right, and sits atop four small spherical feet, giving it a slightly elevated stance.
