Bird Bead

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image features a gold-colored metal object resembling a bird, titled "Bird Bead" by an unknown artist. The object has a bird shape with a textured body and head. The body is symmetrical with a central ridge running down the middle. The bird's head is positioned at the top, and its beak points upwards. Two small protrusions are on either side of the head. A thin metal loop connects the bird's body to a flat, irregularly shaped piece below, which has a beige and light-brown color with darker spots. The background is a solid black fabric with a visible texture.
