Italian
Tripod, mid 15th century
Wrought iron, height: 91.5 cm (36 in.)
A wrought iron tripod stands on three slender legs that join and are twisted before expanding to form the three brackets to hold a circular tray. There is delicate filigree in the area formed below the brackets. There are curlicues where the legs are joined and halfway up the center pillar. The tray is shallow with repeating raised vertical lines surrounding the lip.
