Cleveland Museum of Art

Weight in the form of a coiled animal by Unknown. The image shows a small, dark green, bronze or copper sculpture of an animal. The animal is curled up in a sitting position with its head facing to the right. The sculpture sits on a flat round base. The animal appears to have a smooth body with a round swelling on its back. The head and body are joined by a short neck. The animal's ears are visible on top of its head. The sculpture has a weathered appearance with visible signs of aging and wear. The background is dark gray to black, fading to light grey at the bottom. The sculpture casts a faint shadow on the surface it's sitting on.
