Tomb figure

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a grayscale photograph of a tomb figure titled "Tomb figure" by an unknown artist. The figure is shaped like a curved animal lying on its side with head to the right. The head is tilted upward with an opened mouth and two horn-like protrusions. The body has a bumpy texture with patches of discoloration. A white ruler-like object with black markings is positioned below and to the left of the figure. To the right of the ruler is a white rectangle with text reading "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART 1936". The background is plain white.
