The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Shard titled "Lower Part of Torso with Kushan Dress" by the artist. The shard appears to be made of clay and is irregularly shaped with uneven edges. The color is primarily orange-brown with darker brown and lighter tan patches throughout. A dark brown design is visible on the shard. The design depicts what seems to be a partial figure. The figure appears to be wearing clothing with folds or creases. The clothing seems to consist of a long, possibly pleated or folded garment. The background of the image is a plain gray surface on which the shard is placed.
