Petal-Shaped Bead

Cleveland Museum of Art

Petal-Shaped Bead by Unknown Artist. The image shows a small, teardrop-shaped bead with a glossy, pale blue-green glaze and brown speckles. The bead is lying vertically on a grey surface, with the wider end facing downwards. It has a small, circular opening at the top and a similar brown coloration at the bottom. The bead's surface exhibits a high gloss and some wear, with brown speckles visible throughout. The background is a plain grey surface, with a subtle shadow cast by the bead.
