Coiled Snake

Cleveland Museum of Art

The stone sculpture depicts Coiled Snake by an unknown artist. The sculpture is dark gray with lighter gray and beige accents. It features a rounded object with a head at one end and an etched design on top resembling scales. The head appears to have a nose and one visible eye. The scales extend down the sides of the object, transitioning to a smoother texture. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The object casts a shadow on the surface below.
