Tin Candle Sconce

Franklyn Syres

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two round metal objects. The larger one is positioned above and likely supported by the smaller one. Both objects have a similar design with concentric decorative circles and a serrated edge. The color palette is predominantly shades of gray, with hints of rusted brown areas indicating wear or aging. The larger disc is centered toward the top of the image, while the smaller circular base is placed directly beneath it, providing balance and support.
