Artist, American, 1897 - 1967

The sculpture depicts intricate carvings of ornamental acanthus leaves arranged in a swirling pattern. The leaves exhibit graceful curves and overlap each other, creating a sense of movement and fluidity. The sculpture is rendered in a brown hue, giving it an appearance of wood material. The swirling motif extends to form a conical shape, providing an organic yet symmetrical look. The overall design is detailed and ornate, resembling classical decorative elements found in architecture or furniture design. The sculpture seems carefully crafted and meant to be viewed from the side to appreciate the curvature and carvings.
