Pa. German Stove Plate

Charles Von Urban

National Gallery of Art

A relief sculpture of two human figures standing on either side of a tree-like form in the center. The figures face each other, wearing clothing suggestive of medieval attire. One figure holds a staff. The rectangular sculpture has decorative borders with floral or vine motifs. It is made of a dark-colored material, likely stone or metal, with a grayish hue. An inscription at the bottom is partially obscured by the intricacy of the carving. The relief is slightly raised and rough in texture, creating a sense of depth when viewed from the front.
