Ballgame Thin Stone Head (Hacha)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Ballgame Thin Stone Head by an unknown artist is a sculpture of a human head. The head is carved from a single piece of stone with a rough texture and a predominantly brown color with flecks of green and gray. It faces right. The head is depicted in profile, with the face angled slightly towards the viewer. The facial features are stylized, with a large nose and a small mouth. The eyes are not detailed. A distinctive headdress or crest adorns the top of the head, which is rounded and smooth. The background of the image is a gradient of dark gray to light gray, with a shadow cast by the sculpture on the left side.
