Male Figurine or Finial

Cleveland Museum of Art

Dark brown wooden male figurine with a large head, prominent facial features, and a distinctive hairstyle. The figure has a wide nose, thick lips, and large eyes with a detailed design around them. The body is muscular with defined arms and legs; one leg is bent at the knee and rests on the other. The arms are bent at the elbows. The base of the figurine appears to be a small cylinder. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The overall appearance suggests an old, carved wooden artifact. Male Figurine or Finial, possibly, by an unknown artist.
