Stirrup

Edith Towner

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an abstract shape with a bulbous, curved outline and a hollow, rectangular cut-out at the top. The form is shaded to give a three-dimensional appearance, with lines indicating wood grain textures and small, round indents resembling pinholes. The overall composition bears similarity to a woodworking piece or a block of carved wood.
