Male Figure

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Male Figure sculpture depicts a dark brown wooden male figure with a distinctive appearance. The figure has a long, thin body with a small head, a long neck, and a prominent beard. The face features a flat nose, thin lips, and white eyes. A headband-like structure encircles the head. The figure sits on a circular base with legs folded under the body. The arms are long and thin, with the hands resting near the base. The background is dark gray, gradating to black at the top. The overall style appears to be traditional African art. The artist is unknown.
