Hair pendant

Cleveland Museum of Art

The pendant, titled "Hair pendant" and attributed to an unknown artist, is a silver-colored piece of jewelry. The pendant consists of multiple cylindrical components stacked on top of each other. Each component features a cylindrical shape with a textured surface, likely made by coiling thin metal wire. Small metal balls are attached to the bottom of each component. The metal balls are spherical in shape and feature a textured surface. The pendant is adorned with chains that connect the cylindrical components and the metal balls. The background of the image is dark gray, gradually becoming lighter towards the center. The pendant hangs from a small circular loop at the top. The pendant's length is approximately three times its width. The pendant's design and construction suggest it was made for ornamental purposes, specifically to adorn hair.
