Horse groom

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A full-body figurine of a man with a neutral facial expression. He wears a tan head covering, an orange robe with green and red trim, a knee-length skirt with green and white details, and tall boots; his right arm is bent at the elbow with the fist near his face; his left arm is bent at the elbow with the hand near his waist. The background transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom. Horse groom by artist.
