National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a bronze bowl with two intricately designed handles resembling stylized animal heads, possibly gryphons or dragons. The bowl's surface is adorned with ornate patterns and a central emblem or crest. It is crafted from bronze, giving it a dark metallic hue that highlights its design. The bowl is raised off the ground on three small feet, each matching the decorative scheme.
