Figurine Holding A Ball(?)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The figurine "Figurine Holding A Ball(?)" by an unknown artist depicts a small, off-white sculpture of a human figure. The figure is standing with arms to the sides and slightly bent at the elbows. The face has a subtle, enigmatic expression. The figurine appears to be made of stone or clay and exhibits a textured surface. The hair is depicted as short with curled ends on the sides of the head. The body is rendered in a simple form with minimal detail, wearing no visible clothing. The background of the image is a gradient from dark to light gray. A shadow is cast to the left of the figurine. The overall stance of the figure is upright, with feet positioned closely together. It does not appear to be holding a ball.
