Trammel

Wellington Blewett

National Gallery of Art

This is an image of an object with a jagged-edged tool or weapon. It is a long, narrow piece with saw-like teeth along one side. The object is ornately designed with decorative metal curls and loops, and appears to be crafted from metal. The design suggests it may have had a functional purpose, yet its elaborate decoration also gives it an aesthetic value. The object is isolated on a plain background.
