Dove

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gray jade sculpture of a dove titled "Dove" by artist Isamu Noguchi. The sculpture features a bird with a smooth, glossy surface and a subtle greenish-gray color. The dove's head is rounded with a smooth beak. Its wings are folded against its body and its tail feathers are visible at the back. A small branch made of white jade protrudes from the bird's back. The dove is perched on a dark brown wooden base with intricate carvings. The base has a wavy edge and a flat top. The background of the image is a plain beige color.
