Ornamental Brooch

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Ornamental Brooch by artist Siculo-Arabian is a cross-shaped brooch with a central square section. The central square section is blue with a black border and has a circle in the center. Eight smaller circles surround the central circle, four of them white and four red. Four circular protrusions extend from the center square, one at each point. Each protrusion has a concentric circle design in black and a lighter color. The brooch appears to be made of metal, with visible signs of aging and wear. The background of the image is a solid gray color.
