This is a Bookends. It is dated ca. 1900 and we acquired it in 2013. Its medium is cast copper. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.

This object was donated by Penelope Hunter-Stiebel and Gerald G. Stiebel. It is credited Gift of Gerald G. Stiebel and Penelope Hunter-Stiebel.

A pair of bookends displayed on a dark gray, gradient background. They are made out of ceramic and have a tarnished, dark bronze color. The overall shape and color are comparable to how one would describe a machine part. The inner-portion, like most traditional bookends, has a 90-degree composition while the outer portions have a decoratively industrial feel. It has zig-zagged edges like portions of a cogwheel. From an aerial perspective, the bookends extend to the sides with curving and angular detailing.
