Plaque

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Plaque by an unknown artist depicts a rectangular, dark brown object with a carved figure. The object is divided into five sections with straight edges on the left and right sides that interlock. The figure is carved in light brown and appears to be a man with a beard and mustache wearing a crown or headdress. He has large hair on the sides of his head that resembles a bird's wings. The figure has large eyes and is wearing a long robe with his arms crossed in front of him. His legs are covered and he appears to be wearing shoes. The background is plain white.
