Pendant: Face in Crescent

Cleveland Museum of Art

The pendant "Face in Crescent" by Alexander Calder features a gold-colored metal piece with a face in the center. The face has a nose, mouth, and eyes, and appears to be wearing a headband. The face is surrounded by a semicircular frame with a sunburst design behind it. The frame is made up of a series of triangular shapes that are pointed outward, resembling a crescent moon shape. The pendant has a small loop at the top and two small loops on either side at the bottom. The background of the image is a plain white surface.
