Triad

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a stone carving titled "Triad" by an unknown artist. The carving features three figures carved into a rectangular stone slab with a rough, textured surface. The central figure stands with feet shoulder-width apart and wears a long garment wrapped around the body, secured by a sash; the garment covers the left shoulder and exposes the right. The central figure's left hand rests on the hip, while the right hand holds an object. The figure wears a crown-like structure on the head and a beaded necklace. Two smaller figures flank the central figure, each wearing a similar crown-like structure and a long garment; both have their arms raised and hands positioned near their chests. The background of the image is a gradient transitioning from dark gray at the top to white at the bottom. The stone slab has a rough, uneven edge and appears to be made of a brownish-gray stone. The base of the slab is flat and slightly wider than the top.
