Pipe Bowl

Carl Keksi

National Gallery of Art

The relief carving depicts the bust of a historical figure, with the name "Washington" at the bottom. The figure is surrounded by ornate floral and leafy patterns, creating a highly detailed appearance. The sculpture appears to be made of brown wood and shows the subject in formal historical attire. The relief creates a three-dimensional effect against a flat background.
