Butter Mold

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a carved roundel. The roundel is intricately designed with a central motif of a bird with spread wings, surrounded by stars and cross-like symbols. The outer edge is adorned with a rope-like pattern. The design shows symmetry and balance, with the bird at the center. The material has muted tones, giving it an antique look. The image clearly shows the texture and relief of the carving.
