Covered box c. 1925

"Covered Box" is a small, geometrically shaped box crafted from metal by the artist known as Roundhead. Dated to circa 1925, the box is constructed in the form of a pyramid with a hinged lid that features a triangular cutout for a handle. The surface of the box is ornamented with a hammered texture that creates a visual interest and a sense of craftsmanship. This piece, currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, exemplifies the artist's penchant for simple, yet striking, forms and decorative techniques prevalent in early 20th-century metalwork.
