Cornerstone or Corbel (?)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a woman with long hair carved into a beige stone. The figure is positioned at the top of a trapezoidal stone block. The woman's facial features include a nose, mouth, and eyes; she has both arms raised. Her body is adorned with a large breastplate or necklace. A decorative element resembling drapery or a shawl flows down behind her. The stone appears rough and unfinished. The background of the image transitions from black at the top to light gray at the bottom. The title of the work is "Cornerstone or Corbel".
