Ornamental Finial

Cleveland Museum of Art

The object is a bronze-colored finial. The finial has a rounded knob on top. The knob is on a short, thin neck with a decorative band below. The band has small circular indentations. The bowl of the finial is rounded and wide. The bowl has a decorative band around the middle with small teardrop shapes inside half circles. The base of the finial is narrow and flares out slightly at the bottom with a decorative band around it. The band at the base has small dots arranged in rows. The background is dark gray and light grey gradient. The object casts a shadow to the right. The object appears to be titled "Ornamental Finial" by an unnamed artist.
