Staff

The Baboon Master

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a wooden staff by The Baboon Master. The staff is made of wood and has a long, thin handle. The staff's handle is dark brown with some lighter brown grain visible. The staff's handle appears smooth and straight. The top of the staff features a carved design. The carved design is made up of two distinct parts: a smaller figure on top of a larger one. The smaller figure on top appears to be a humanoid form. The larger figure below has a more defined face and body. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The gray background has a subtle gradient effect. The gradient effect gets darker towards the corners. The staff is centered in the image. The staff casts a faint shadow on the surface below.
