Box

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a recumbent lamb made of white material, likely ceramic or porcelain, with a gold object on its head, lying on a rectangular base, also white, with a cross resting on its back. The lamb's head is turned to the left, facing left. The rectangular base has a horizontal wood-grain pattern on the front and sides. The background transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The title of the sculpture is "Box".
