The Cleveland Museum of Art

Collection Online as of July 11, 2025

Earthenware sculpture in earthy oranges, reds, and light blues of a figure standing on a cylindrical pedestal, eyes closed, with a rectangular background decorated with geometric shapes framing them and a half-circle flaring behind their head. A triangular tongue sticks out from the figure's mouth, and they wear a collar and floppy headdress. They stand with their legs hip-width apart and their disproportionately small hands emerge from the tassels and circular medallions.
