Pa. German Fire Back

Charles Von Urban

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a carved stone slab with decorative elements. It features the engraved number "1673" prominently, with two floral-like motifs on either side, one of which includes a heart shape. Below the numbers runs a band with an inscription or a line of text. There is a diamond-shaped pattern toward the bottom of the slab. The material of the sculpture is stone, exhibiting a gray color. The style, with carved patterns and inscription, suggests it may be a historical or commemorative piece, possibly a gravestone or a monument marker. It appears weathered and aged, aligning with its engraved date.
