Large Pendant, Lower Left and Right Two Winged "Devils" Sitting on Pedestals

Daniel Mignot

National Gallery of Art

The image displays swirling lines and intricate shapes, with a central symmetrical design. The piece has an abstract composition, with shapes resembling delicate ironwork or intricate lace patterns. Above the central design, two ribbon-like forms loop and twist in arcs. Below the central motif, winged figures hold up small urns. The design is reminiscent of a fantastical chandelier or an elaborate piece of jewelry.
