This is a photograph of two ornate cast iron objects with lettering. The top object is a dark, metal trivet with legs, featuring the text "HARPER." Below it, there is another similar structure in a light color, showing a different perspective of its height and shape. The lower object also appears to have lettering, though it is less clear due to the angle. These objects are often used in settings where hot items need to be placed on a surface without causing damage. The photograph highlights the contrasting colors and design structures of these utilitarian items.
