Iron Stand

Roy Weber

National Gallery of Art

A metallic wrought iron design in a shield shape with intricate scrollwork detailing is centrally positioned against a plain, cream-colored background. The design features loops, spirals, and leaf-like elements, appearing in dark gray or black, contrasting against the lighter backdrop. The object is located slightly above the centerline of the image, drawing attention to its ornate craftsmanship. The shield-shaped piece is suspended vertically, with the pointed end directed downward.
