Sugar Caster (one of a pair)
This sugar caster consists of an octagonal body topped by a domed lid. The body stands on a molded, octagonal base with alternating concave sides, a design carried through the rest of the body and the lid. The lid is pierced with geometric and floral patterns that alternate on each facet, and is surmounted by a rounded finial. The tall, slender proportions of the caster are counterbalanced by the horizontal moldings that decorate the base, body and lid. An unidentified coat of arms appears on the body of the caster.

Subject matter
In this photograph, the smokestacks of a sugarcane factory tower over their immediate surroundings. A truck and a grouping of palm trees in the middle ground are all dwarfed by these four concrete and steel columns. A metal hook dangles in the upper-left corner of the photograph, seemingly unattached to anything and almost out of place.

A truck hauling sugarcane stops in front of a factory with a row of palm trees in front of it.
