Section of a Coping Rail

Cleveland Museum of Art

Reddish-brown stone carving on display on a black base against a dark background. The carving features a top section with a row of small, rounded, protruding rectangles separated by thin grooves. The bottom section depicts two identical animals lying down facing each other, with their heads on the outside, flanking a central design of leaves and a flower. The animals have their legs tucked underneath their bodies and their tails curled. The stone appears worn and weathered with white spots. The carving's surface texture is rough. The overall shape is long and rectangular. It is titled "Section of a Coping Rail" and is by an unknown artist.
