Trivet

Margaret Golden

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a small, flat piece with an intricate cut-out design forming stylized letters arranged within a rectangular frame with rounded upper corners. It appears to be made from dark rust-brown colored metal, likely iron, with a slightly rough texture. The symmetrical design is simplistic yet intricate, with a sturdy and compact structure that suggests it could serve a decorative or functional purpose. The backdrop is plain and neutral, allowing the rich texture and coloration of the metal sculpture to stand out prominently against it. The piece is labeled with the name "Margaret Golden" visible on the background.
