Double-Sided Votive Relief

Cleveland Museum of Art

Double-Sided Votive Relief by Unknown. A stone relief carving of an animal head, likely a votive offering. The head is carved in profile, facing right. The stone is light brown with darker and lighter patches. The eye is open, with a curved line above it. The nose and mouth are also carved. Lines are carved to indicate the mouth area and jaw. The edges of the stone are rough and uneven. The background is a gray surface, possibly a table or wall, with a shadow cast by the relief.
