Mirror Stand in the Shape of a Djeiran

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts two bull-like figures, likely Djeiran, made of dark gray metal with a weathered appearance. The figure on the left stands on all fours with one knee bent and the other leg extended behind it, while the figure on the right lies on its stomach with its head facing the other figure. The standing figure's head is tilted upwards with the mouth open, appearing to be bellowing; the figure on the right has one curved horn protruding. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom, and the metal appears to have a patina. The two figures are positioned with the standing figure on the left and the lying figure on the right, appearing to interact.
