Figure of a Civil Official

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The stone sculpture depicts a standing figure of a civil official. The figure has a light-colored stone texture with a weathered appearance. The figure is shown from the front, with feet shoulder-width apart on a square base. The figure wears a high-collared robe with a sash crossing diagonally across the chest. The robe has long sleeves, and one arm is bent at the elbow with the hand near the chest. The other arm hangs straight down by the side. The figure's hair is styled in a bun on top of the head. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
