Headrest of Irut

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Headrest of Irut by an unknown artist is a sculpture made of white stone. The object has a crescent-shaped top, resembling a half-moon with curved horns on either side that point outward and upward. The crescent shape sits on a short cylindrical base adorned with vertical ridges. The base of the sculpture is square, with rounded corners. The background is a dark gray color that gets lighter towards the bottom, where the sculpture's shadow is cast.
