Wooden Thread Holder

Edward L. Loper

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a single, large, egg-shaped object with a small circular hole at the top, resting atop a tiered base that resembles an elongated, round pot or urn. The object is predominantly brown with shades of tan and dark brown, creating a smooth gradient across the surface. Positioned centrally on a light beige background, the object appears grounded due to the shadow effect beneath the base.
