Axe Figure

Cleveland Museum of Art

The "Axe Figure" by an unknown artist is a sculpture carved from dark green stone with light flecks. The figure is depicted with a large head and small body. It has a smooth surface with visible tool marks. The figure's facial features are minimal, with a small mouth and no discernible eyes or nose. Its arms are folded across the abdomen. The figure stands on a flat surface, casting a shadow behind it. The background is gray and transitions from dark at the top to light at the bottom.
