Ancus Head

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a metal object with a hook and a long pointed tip. The object is made of metal, appears worn and has a dark color. The hook is curved and points downwards; it is attached to a long, thin piece that extends to the right. The long piece has a pointed tip. There is a second, thinner metal piece attached above the hook, with a wavy shape. The object has a small metal ring around the area where the hook meets the long piece. A small metal tag hangs from the ring. The background is plain and light-colored. The object titled "Ancus Head" is by an unknown artist.
