Saluting Protective Spirit

Cleveland Museum of Art

The stone relief depicts a male figure with wings. The figure wears a long tunic with a patterned hem and cuffs, a beaded necklace, bracelets, and shoes. A headband wraps around the figure's forehead. One hand is raised in front of the figure's face with the palm facing outwards. The other hand holds a cross-like object with three flowers on the ends. The figure's wings protrude from their back and have feathers carved on them. The figure stands with one leg behind the other. The background consists of several stone slabs with a textured surface. The title is "Saluting Protective Spirit".
