Dachsund

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a dachshund by artist Asmus. The sculpture is of a short-legged dog with a long body and tail. The dog's head is lowered to the ground. The sculpture appears to be made of a light-colored material, possibly ivory or bone. The dog's body is smooth and shiny. The dog has long ears that hang down on either side of its head. The background of the image is dark at the top and lightens to gray towards the bottom. The sculpture casts a shadow on the ground. The ground is a flat, light grey surface. The image shows the sculpture from a side view.
