Fragment of Statue Base (?)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragment of Statue Base by Artist. The object is a fragment of a base. It is made of a material that appears to be stone or ceramic with a green patina. The fragment has a rough, uneven shape with jagged edges. The top surface is flat and slightly wider than the bottom. The bottom surface is not visible. The front of the fragment has a band of symbols etched into it. The symbols are arranged horizontally and appear to be some sort of ancient text or inscription. The symbols are brown in color and have a weathered appearance. The background behind the object is dark gray, with a lighter gray surface that the object is sitting on. A shadow is cast to the left.
