Ballgame Thin Stone Head (Hacha)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The stone sculpture depicts a head with a prominent headdress. The head is carved from light brown stone and features a large, curved headdress that extends upwards and backwards. The face has a large nose and mouth, with a small, circular eye socket. The sculpture appears to be an example of pre-Columbian art, specifically a Ballgame Thin Stone Head, also known as a Hacha, created by the artist. The background of the image is dark gray, with a lighter gray surface on which the sculpture is placed, casting a shadow to the left.
