Grave Stele

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Grave Stele by an unknown artist depicts two fragmented ancient stone sculptures. The larger sculpture on the left features a standing figure carved from reddish-brown stone, wearing a long robe with folds visible. The figure has short hair and is positioned under a ledge protruding at the top. The sculpture's edges are uneven and broken. The smaller sculpture on the right shows a figure leaning on a cylindrical object, with their face and shoulder visible. The background is a plain wall with shadows cast by the sculptures.
