Crouching Feline

Cleveland Museum of Art

Crouching feline by unknown artist. A small, light-colored sculpture of a cat-like creature. The sculpture is viewed from the front. It has a large head with two small triangular ears on top. Two small turquoise stones are embedded on either side above the eyes. The mouth is open, revealing a small circular hole inside. The body is squat with two small arms and two clawed hands. A hole is carved out of the center of the body. The legs are fused together into a single form with a pointed end. The background is dark gray, getting lighter towards the center.
