Female Bowl-Bearing Figure (lid)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Female Bowl-Bearing Figure (lid) by an unknown artist. A small, dark brown wooden lid with a carved pattern on top of a light-colored cylindrical base. The lid is domed with a small knob on top and a woven or basket-weave design on its upper half. The lid's edge is smooth and rounded. The cylindrical base appears to be made of a lighter-colored material, possibly wood or ivory, with visible striations and a rough texture. The base is wider at the bottom than at the top. The background is a plain gray color.
