Master of Animals Cheekpiece

Cleveland Museum of Art

Greenish metal sculpture of three figures. The central figure is humanoid with a horned head and large circular hole in the stomach area. The outer two figures are similar with open-mouthed animal or human-like heads, bodies like a horse or goat with patterned bodies. The outer figures have one leg bent and the other extended and are holding hands with the central figure. The entire sculpture is green with darker green and white patches likely from oxidation. The background is gray and dark at the top and lighter at the bottom.
