Chariot Canopy Shaft

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Chariot Canopy Shaft by an unknown artist is a cylindrical object divided into three sections of roughly equal length. The object is made of a material that appears to be metal and has a predominantly white and brown coloration with some red areas. There are intricate patterns and designs etched or painted onto its surface. Two raised rings encircle the object, one near the top and one near the bottom. The object has a worn and aged appearance, and there is a greenish tint at the bottom. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
