Monkey Finial

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a collection of 16 gold-colored metal pieces arranged on a plain white surface. The pieces are various shapes and sizes, with rounded and curved edges, and some featuring visible holes or perforations. One piece resembles a human head in profile, while another appears to be a body or torso. The pieces are gold-colored with darker spots and patches, indicating aging or corrosion. Some pieces have red numbers or letters on them, but they are not legible. The background is a plain white surface with subtle shadows cast by the pieces. The overall appearance suggests that these are fragments of an ancient artifact, possibly a gold finial, as indicated by the title "Monkey Finial".
