Architectural Bracket with Wrestlers

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a stone carving titled "Architectural Bracket with Wrestlers" by an unknown artist. The object is rectangular with a raised rectangular panel in the center, featuring two men wrestling. The men are nude, with one on the left appearing to be bald and having a beard; the other has long wavy hair. They are positioned in a face-to-face stance, each grabbing the other's arm. The man on the left has his right leg extended behind him and his left leg bent in front, while the man on the right has his left leg extended behind him and his right leg bent in front. The stone is gray with a brown tint and exhibits a rough texture, with visible scratches and marks throughout. The background of the image transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
