Rosette

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Rosette by unknown artist is a small, dark-colored, flower-shaped object with a central hole and several protrusions around its edge. The object has a rough, irregular texture. It appears to be made of metal, likely bronze or copper, with visible signs of aging and wear. The central hole is circular and smooth. There are 10 bulbous protrusions around the edge, each one roughly the same size. Some protrusions have small holes. The object has a dark brown and black patina with hints of gold. The background of the image is a plain light blue-grey color.
