Patch Boxes of Kentucky Rifles

Albert Levone

National Gallery of Art

Four gold-colored metal fittings are displayed, each with intricate patterns and designs. The color palette consists primarily of gold with highlights in a darker, reddish-brown hue indicating shading. In the composition, the objects are arranged in a rectangular layout - two larger fittings positioned in the upper half and two smaller fittings in the bottom half. The largest fitting is at the top left, while another is to its right. Below them, a fitting featuring a bird-like detail is on the left, and the smallest design is on the right.
