Altar Front

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Altar Front by an unknown artist shows a grayish-white marble relief sculpture. The top section contains two shell-like shapes on either side, with two animals, and two palm tree-like figures on the outermost corners. Between the shell-like shapes, a triangle with crosses on either side forms the base of a red cross with a T-shaped bottom. Below that are two rows of columns with ornate capitals on the top. The bottom row has column bases and a space between the two center columns. There are crosses carved on the two outer sections of the bottom. The background is a solid gray color.
