Fragment of Gothic Stone Crocket

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Fragment of Gothic Stone Crocket by an unknown artist is a stone carving that features a tapered, vase-like shape with a wide top and narrow bottom. The object is made of light-colored stone and has a rough texture. The surface of the stone is carved with a repeating pattern of leaves. The leaves are carved in a Gothic style, with pointed tips and curved edges. The carvings are arranged in a symmetrical pattern, with four sections on each side featuring a central stem with two leaves on either side. The top edge of the stone is irregularly shaped, with several small notches and grooves. The background of the image is a gradient of gray, with the stone casting a shadow on the surface below it.
