Mat Weight in the Form of a Bear

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture titled "Mat Weight in the Form of a Bear" by an unknown artist depicts a bear in a crouched position. The bear appears to be made of bronze or brass and has a predominantly gold color with areas of green and black patina visible. The bear's mouth is open, showing its teeth, and its ears are perked up. The sculpture shows signs of wear and tear, with scratches and patches of discoloration on its surface. The bear's front paws are positioned in front of its chest, with the paws facing forward. The background of the image is a gradient of gray, transitioning from dark at the top to light at the bottom. The sculpture appears to be sitting on a flat surface.
