Pair of naga finials

Cleveland Museum of Art

Pair of naga finials by Artist. Two greenish metal objects resembling a mythical serpent or dragon head with multiple faces are shown. The objects are made of a weathered, greenish metal with a rough texture. They have a fan-shaped design behind the heads with short spikes around the edges. Each object has two large faces with bulging eyes and a long nose. The faces are surrounded by smaller decorative elements and ridges. The objects are shaped like a vase, with a wide top and a narrow bottom. The background is a gradient from dark gray to light gray. The objects cast a shadow on the surface below them.
