Headdress

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Headdress by an unknown artist features a gold semi-circular piece at the top adorned with intricate designs and embellishments. The main body of the piece is long and black with a patterned design and tassels or fringe along the edges. A thin metal pole supports the piece vertically from the bottom of the gold adornment. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The overall shape resembles a headdress or headpiece with long, flowing elements. The gold piece at the top is semi-circular and features ornate patterns. The long black parts have a repeating circular pattern and are fringed. A small tag is attached to the black part below the gold section.
