Cleveland Museum of Art

Terracotta grave stela with a woman, titled "Grave Stela", by an unknown artist. The rectangular terracotta stela features a raised relief sculpture of a woman standing facing right. She wears a long, draped garment and a head covering. The top of the stela is adorned with a molding. The surface of the stela is rough and textured, with visible cracks and chipping. The woman's facial features are simple and her body is depicted in a static pose with her left arm bent at the elbow and her right arm not visible. The background of the image is a plain wall.
