Harness Ornament

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Harness Ornament by unknown artist shows a metal object with a green patina, likely made of bronze or copper. The object consists of a central ring with three protrusions, each featuring a square shape with a triangular design etched into it. The protrusions are evenly spaced around the ring and appear to be attached to it via a small neck. The square shapes have a slight trapezoidal appearance due to their positioning. The metal has a weathered appearance with visible signs of aging and wear. The background of the image is plain and light gray.
