A Sand-Box (Triangular)

Follower of Andrea Briosco, called Riccio

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features detailed carvings on its surface depicting multiple human and mythical figures in dynamic poses. Two sculpted figures resembling women protrude from the sides, with scroll-like bases curling underneath them. The piece is made from dark material, possibly bronze or metal, which gives it an antiquated look. The front panel displays a series of densely positioned figures, creating a visually complex design.
