Joined Figures

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Greenish metal sculpture of two figures joined at the hands. The figures are standing with their legs apart and their arms outstretched. They are positioned in a way that their arms form an archway. The figures have a simple, abstract form with minimal details. They appear to be wearing some kind of loincloth or short pants. The sculpture has a weathered, aged appearance with visible patina. The background is a plain, light-colored surface. The sculpture is titled "Joined Figures" by an unknown artist.
