Bird Bead

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a gold-colored metal object titled "Bird Bead" by an unknown artist. The object is shaped like a bird with a large body and head at the top and a smaller body section below ending in a flat irregular shape. The bird's head is adorned with two small circular black eyes. The bird's body features several curved lines extending from the neck to the bottom. A small loop connects the two body sections. The object has a textured surface and appears to be made of gold or a gold-colored metal. The background is black with a ribbed texture.
