Boat with Six Passengers

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a boat with six passengers. The boat is carved from ivory and features a dragon on the left side and a turtle on the right side. The boat has a flat bottom with a curved top. It contains six people and an umbrella. The people appear to be dressed in traditional Asian clothing. They are all facing different directions. One person sits at the front of the boat with a large drum between their legs. Another person stands in the middle with a fan in their right hand. The background of the image is dark gray, with the sculpture sitting on a lighter gray surface. The sculpture was created by an unknown artist.
