Relief with Tiger from a Funerary Stove Model

Cleveland Museum of Art

The rectangular relief plaque features a relief carving of a running tiger, created from a light-colored stone. The tiger's body faces left, showcasing its head in profile while its body is depicted in a three-quarter view. The stone exhibits a light beige color with darker beige and brown patches scattered throughout. The carving presents a dynamic scene of the tiger mid-stride, with its front right leg extended forward and its hind legs bent underneath its body. The tiger's tail extends behind it, curving upward. The background of the image transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
