Bridle Band

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of "Bridle Band" by unidentified artist. The bridle band has two long, dark-colored ribbons that are looped at the top. The ribbons have a striped pattern near the top and are smooth below. The ribbons are adorned with metal pieces: one near the top and one near the bottom. The top metal pieces are teardrop shaped with a filigree pattern. The bottom metal pieces are circular with a filigree pattern and a small pendant below. A metal ring with a donut shape and filigree pattern connects the two ribbons at the top. A ruler is placed at the bottom left for scale. The background is a light-colored surface.
