Hair Ornament

Cleveland Museum of Art

The object is a bronze hair ornament titled "Hair Ornament" by an unknown artist. The object is shaped like the letter "Y" with two flared ends at the top resembling horns or trumpets. The two flared ends are symmetrical, with the wider parts facing outwards and the narrower parts meeting in the middle. The long, thin stem extends downwards from the point where the two flared ends meet. The surface features etched designs on the upper half, with geometric patterns. The background of the image transitions from black at the top to grey at the bottom.
