The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, dark brown, metal object with a flared bottom. The object is cylindrical, with a rounded top and a long, thin, fluted lower section. A short, thin metal cord with a small knot at the end hangs from the left side. The object appears to be made of metal, possibly bronze or copper, and has a dark patina. It is adorned with decorative elements, including a band of small raised dots around the top and a series of vertical grooves on the lower section. The background of the image is light gray. The title of the object is "Quiver (mda' shubs) with Accessory" and the artist is not visually identifiable in the image.
