Vase

Cleveland Museum of Art

Terracotta vase in the form of a human head. The vase is made of terracotta and has a cylindrical top. The face is depicted with a subtle smile and appears to have a serene expression. The facial features include a nose, mouth, and eyes that are somewhat closed. The ears are visible on either side of the head. The background of the image transitions from dark at the top to light gray at the bottom. The overall appearance suggests an ancient or antiquated piece, possibly from a pre-Columbian culture. Vase by Julio González.
