Mold for a Male Head

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts "Mold for a Male Head" by an unknown artist. The object is a broken, aged, stone or clay mold in a light brown color with darker brown and black spots. The mold appears to be a fragment, with a large crack down the middle of the face and a rough, uneven edge around the perimeter. The face has a wide, flat nose and small, closed eyes, with eyebrows that are slightly curved. The mouth is a thin line with a slight curve upward. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The object casts a shadow on the surface below it. The surface is flat and light gray.
