Group of Sennin Standing Around a Camp Kettle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a sculpture titled "Group of Sennin Standing Around a Camp Kettle" by an unknown artist. Seven small, dark-colored figurines stand in a row. They wear robes and have their hair styled in tall, cylindrical buns. The figurines are gathered around a large kettle with two handles. The kettle sits on the ground. The figurines each have distinct facial features and expressions. Two of the figurines hold objects. The background is a plain light gray color. A watermark in the bottom-right corner reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM".
