Three Figures

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture "Three Figures" by an unknown artist depicts three small, bald human figures carved from a light-colored material, possibly ivory or bone, with darker brown accents. The figure on the left is standing and holding a staff in their right hand while resting their left hand on a rectangular object. The figure in the middle is also standing and appears to be pushing the same object. The figure on the right is crouched down and pushing the object from underneath. All three figures have tattoos or carvings on their clothing. The background of the image is dark gray, with a lighter gray surface that the sculpture is sitting on.
