Trivet

Fritz Boehmer

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a stylized design resembling a triangular frame with a handle, akin to a traditional hearth tool like a fire poker or trivet. Within the triangular structure, there is a decorative motif of a flower with a central stem and five outward-curving leaves or branches. The sculpture is crafted in a dark bronze or iron material. The flower design is symmetrical, with the leaves evenly balanced on each side.
