Nose Ring

Cleveland Museum of Art

Metal nose ring by unknown artist. The nose ring is made of dark-colored metal; darker areas suggest oxidation. The ring's body is thin and curved into a semi-circle with one end featuring a small circular plate. The plate has a small hole in the center and is attached to a thin metal wire that forms the ring's body. The other end tapers to a point. The majority of the ring's body has a ribbed texture. The background is a gradient of dark gray to light gray.
