Card Receiver with Inverted Border on High Stem

Antoine-Louis Barye

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a decorative tazza made of bronze with a dark green patina. It features intricate relief decorations on its surface, stem, and base carved with floral and possibly mythological motifs. The slender pedestal elegantly connects to the circular base for stability. The ornate design and historical material suggest it is an antique piece displayed against a neutral background.
