National Gallery of Art

The image shows two metal objects. One is an ornate, arch-shaped piece that reads "St. Louis, MO." on its right side and has stylized cut-outs at its center. Below it is a long, rectangular object with legs, appearing more utilitarian. The color palette is earthy metal tones like bronze and brown. Both objects are centrally positioned against a plain background, with the arch-shaped object in the top half and the rectangular object in the bottom half of the frame.
