Pendant

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a pendant titled "Pendant" by an unnamed artist. The pendant features a large, rectangular purple stone, likely an amethyst, with a carved design on its face. The stone has a smooth, glossy surface and exhibits a deep purple color with flecks of darker purple and brown throughout. A gold-colored metal band encircles the stone, with a rough, textured edge. Below the band are six small, gold-colored monkey-like figures with their hands on the band or on top of each other, arranged in a circular pattern around the base of the stone. The background of the image is a plain gray color that darkens towards the top.
