Salt Shaker

Wellington Blewett

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture in the image is cylindrical, featuring two male faces positioned back to back. The faces exhibit detailed facial features and ornamental designs, including floral motifs, connecting them seamlessly. The material appears to be a smooth, lustrous metal, giving it a silvery-grey hue. The top of the sculpture is capped with a disk-like element of a brownish shade. The sculpture is upright, faces outward, and set against a plain, neutral background accentuating its details and form.
