Talatat: Men Hoeing the Earth

Cleveland Museum of Art

The "Talatat: Men Hoeing the Earth" depicts a carved stone relief. The stone is rectangular with uneven edges, primarily composed of beige and brown hues. Two figures are shown; both are shirtless and wearing loincloths. The figure on the right is bending over, supporting himself on his right leg and left knee. He appears to be using an object with three prongs, likely a hoe or similar agricultural tool, to till the ground. On the left side, another figure appears to be emerging from the ground. The background behind the stone is gray.
