Squatting Figure

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a small green statue titled "Squatting Figure" by an unknown artist. The statue appears to be made of stone or metal and features a figure with a bald head and hands clasped together in a prayer-like pose. The figure has a simple, minimalist facial expression. It has a smooth, shiny surface with visible texture and is positioned on a simple base. The figure is sitting on its haunches with its knees bent and feet tucked under the body. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The overall appearance is one of a simple, elegant, and contemplative piece of art.
