Chest Front

Cleveland Museum of Art

The wooden panel titled "Chest Front" by an unknown artist features a rectangular shape with a dark brown color and visible signs of wear. The panel has a border of small rope-like patterns around its edges. The majority of the panel's surface is covered in rows of small, raised triangular pyramids arranged in a grid pattern. A large circle in the center, formed by two concentric rope-like patterns, contains another geometric pattern made of triangles. The rope-like patterns are also present on either side of the circle, curving outward and ending before the panel's edges. The panel's surface shows signs of aging, with lighter brown spots scattered throughout, and it has a series of small notches along its long sides. The background behind the panel is light gray.
