Stela Fragment

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Stela Fragment by an unknown artist depicts two sides of a stone carving. The left side shows a face carved into a stone, with a large mouth and teeth, and a nose; it has a large eye and a line above it, and a carving on top that has a long beak. The right side shows a similar face with large eyes and a nose; it has a headdress on top of its head with a long element extending back and two on either side, and a design on the bottom resembling a flower or a sunburst. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
