Hanging Light

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Hanging Light by artist is a cobalt blue glass vessel with a handle. The vessel has a wide mouth, a narrow base, and a rounded body. The body features a diamond-shaped pattern etched into its surface. A thin black metal wire handle is attached to the top of the vessel, forming an arch that ends in a small loop. The background is a gradient of dark gray at the top and light blue-gray at the bottom. The object casts a shadow on the surface below it. The overall appearance suggests the object may be a hanging light fixture or lantern.
