Kneeling Boy, Fragment

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Kneeling Boy, Fragment by Unknown Artist depicts a small sculpture of a boy kneeling on both knees. The boy has a rounded face with a small nose and closed mouth. He wears a long-sleeved shirt and loose-fitting pants. His arms are raised to hold a cylindrical object above his head. The sculpture appears to be made of stone or ivory with brown and black veins. The background is dark gray, transitioning to black at the top. The object the boy holds appears to have ridges and be ornately carved. The boy's facial expression appears neutral. He has a large head compared to his body.
