A Pair of Decorated Palanquin Hooks and Rings

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two green, ornate palanquin hooks and rings side-by-side on a gray background. The hooks are made of a green metal, possibly bronze or copper, with a weathered appearance. Each hook features a ring at the top and a curved, dragon-shaped body below. The dragons have their heads at the top center of the hooks, facing forward, with their bodies curving down and around to form the hook. The dragons have detailed scales, fins, and flames on their bodies. The hooks are decorated with intricate carvings and designs throughout. The background behind the hooks is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
