Amulet of a Palmette

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Amulet of a Palmette by an unknown artist is a small, turquoise-colored object. The object is roughly spherical at the bottom, tapering to a short cylindrical neck and then flaring out slightly at the top. The object has a textured surface with a carved design resembling a stylized flower or plant with rounded lobes. The object appears to be made of a ceramic or stone material with a glossy finish. It has a small base that allows it to stand upright. The background of the image is a gradient gray color.
