Carved Tooth

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a carved tooth, specifically a tusk, with a predominantly white color and a smooth texture. The tusk is curved and features a wide, flat base on the left side, gradually tapering to a pointed tip on the right side. The surface of the tusk is intricately carved with various designs and patterns. Black lines form geometric shapes, while raised carvings depict people, animals, and what appears to be a fish. The carvings are arranged in sections, separated by the black lines. The background of the image is solid black, providing a stark contrast to the white tusk. A small portion of a white surface is visible at the top and bottom of the image. The artist and title of the piece is "Carved Tooth".
