The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Greenish metal pendant with a loop at the top, featuring a figure with outstretched arms and a rounded head. The pendant has a weathered appearance with visible signs of aging and wear. It has a distinctive shape with a rounded top and two curved protrusions on either side, resembling arms. The pendant features seven holes of varying sizes, including a small circular hole at the top, two medium-sized circular holes on either side, a diamond-shaped hole in the center, and two smaller holes at the bottom. The metal is predominantly greenish in color, with patches of brown and tan visible throughout.
