The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Votive Plaque by Unknown, shows a semi-circular piece of stone. A figure's head and shoulders are carved into the stone. A carved archway appears behind the figure. The figure appears to wear a crown or other head covering. The figure appears to hold an object in one hand. The stone object has a rope-like texture along the curved top edge. The entire image is in black and white. A small portion of the bottom right corner of the plaque appears broken off.
