Nighty Night II

View through Harvard Museums
The sculpture’s shape evokes a hunched animal or snowman, consisting of three balls of diminishing size that are tipped slightly forward. Large nodules on the head and base recall ears and tail, and circular openings in the head mimic eyes and mouth. The surface is entirely covered in a white glaze flecked with color.
