The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Fragment of a Relief by Unknown. The image shows a light gray stone relief fragment with a rough texture and small holes throughout. The fragment is irregularly shaped with one straight edge on the top and a broken edge on the bottom left. A three-dimensional relief of the lower portion of a human face or body with no discernable facial features or limbs is carved into the stone in the bottom right. The background of the image is a mottled gray surface that the relief fragment is resting on.
