Roof Tile

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture "Roof Tile" by Unknown features a statue of a person with a serene expression. The figure wears a robe draped over their shoulder and around their waist. Their hands are positioned in front of their body, with one hand holding an object. The figure stands on a decorative base with wave-like designs. Behind the figure is a large circular object, resembling a sun or moon, with a flat base and a slightly broken edge. The circular object has a stone-like texture and appears to be a part of a larger structure. Two rectangular boxes with ornate designs are positioned on either side of the base. The entire sculpture appears to be made of stone or metal and exhibits a weathered appearance.
