Standing Female with Basket

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing female figure with a basket. The figure is made of off-white stone or ceramic material. She has a round face with a small nose and mouth, and her eyes are depicted as being closed or half-closed. Her hair is covered by a headband with geometric designs. She wears large earrings and a necklace. Her attire consists of a short-sleeved tunic with geometric patterns and a belt around her waist. The tunic covers her from neck to just above the knees. Her feet are wide and flat. She holds a basket-like object in her right hand. The basket has a handle and a wide base with a textured pattern. The background of the image is black, with a light source coming from the front, casting a shadow behind the sculpture.
