Small Cross Tube

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture Small Cross Tube by an unknown artist depicts four humanoid figures standing on a base resembling four animal heads. The figures are made of a greenish-brown material, likely bronze or copper, with visible signs of aging and wear. Each figure has a distinct facial expression and adornments on their heads. The base has four openings, two on each side. The background transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
