Effigy Urn

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Effigy Urn by an unknown artist depicts a grey stone sculpture of a seated figure. The figure wears a headdress with curved sections resembling a shell or a fan. On the headdress, a small face is carved above the figure's forehead. The figure has a neutral expression with visible teeth. They wear earrings and a necklace. Their arms are bent at the elbows, with hands resting on their knees. The figure wears a pleated collar and a decorative belt. The background is dark grey, getting lighter towards the bottom.
