Carved Figure

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a carved figure by an unknown artist titled "Carved Figure". The figure is carved from light-colored wood and stands on a dark-colored base. The figure has a rounded head with short hair and a smiling face. It wears a long robe with folds carved into the wood. The robe is depicted as draped over the figure's body, with folds carved to create a sense of texture and depth. The figure's arms are not visible. The base of the figure is dark-colored and appears to be made of a different material than the rest of the figure. The background of the image is a light-colored wall or surface.
