Jonah Under the Gourd Vine

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture "Jonah Under the Gourd Vine" depicts a man lying on his back on a rectangular base. The man has short hair and a beard and wears a short tunic gathered at the waist. His left arm rests across his stomach, and his right arm is raised, touching a vine and leaves that arch over him. The vine has holes, likely representing fruit. The man's legs are stretched out to his left. The base of the sculpture has folds carved into it at the bottom. The sculpture is made of stone and is off-white. The background is dark gray.
