Roy Weber, a Pennsylvania-born artist known for his detailed drawings of everyday objects, created this pen and ink drawing of a "Pa. German Pie Marker" circa 1938. The drawing, a study of a traditional tool used by Pennsylvania Dutch bakers to create decorative crust patterns on pies, showcases the intricate craftsmanship of the object, featuring carved hearts and a stylized horse motif. This piece exemplifies Weber's interest in preserving the cultural heritage of Pennsylvania Germans through meticulous documentation.
