Inlay Eye (one of a pair)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Inlay Eye, one of a pair, by an unknown artist. The object is an eye inlay made of white stone with a large, circular black stone pupil. The white stone is carved into an elongated, teardrop shape with a pointed end on each side. The white stone has some brown discoloration and small dark spots on its surface. The black stone pupil is shiny and has a few small white flecks throughout. A thin gold border appears to separate the black stone from the white stone. The background of the image is a solid gray color.
