Miniature Metate

Cleveland Museum of Art

Miniature Metate by an unknown artist. The image shows a gray stone carving with rounded corners and a rough texture. The carving depicts a figure with its arms raised. The figure appears to be emerging from or sitting on a rectangular object. The object has a flat top with a pattern, and there are four circular indentations below it. The figure is positioned under a rounded square shape. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The stone carving sits on a light gray surface. The overall appearance suggests an ancient or pre-Columbian artifact.
