Mountain

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sculpture titled "Mountain" by an unnamed artist. The sculpture is a rounded, dome-shaped object carved from a white stone, possibly marble, with a rough texture and numerous small holes and crevices. The sculpture depicts a mountainous landscape with trees, a house, and other structures carved into its surface. The sculpture sits on a dark-colored, ornate base with a decorative design, which appears to be made of metal. The base has a flat top and a curved edge, with a pattern of swirling shapes and lines etched into its surface. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
