Feline Vessel

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Feline Vessel by an unknown artist depicts a sculpture of a feline with a spout on its back. The feline has a large head, small body, and short legs. The feline's head faces left and features large ears, large circular eyes with horizontal pupils, and sharp teeth. The feline's body is low to the ground, as if crouching or propped up on its front legs. The feline's fur is smooth and gray with patches of darker and lighter shading. The feline's back features a cylindrical protrusion with a flat top. The background is dark gray at the top and light gray at the bottom. A shadow is cast to the left.
