Kneeling Boy

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture "Kneeling Boy" by an unknown artist depicts a small figurine of a boy. The boy has a smooth face and short hair. He wears a traditional Japanese kimono with an intricate pattern of hexagons and flowers. The figurine is made of ivory or a similar material and has a glossy finish. The boy sits on one knee with one arm bent at the elbow and the other hand resting on his knee. He holds a round object with a design in his hand. The background is dark gray, with a lighter gray surface that the figurine sits on.
