Pendant

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The pendant by an unknown artist is a small, aged metal object with a dark green patina. The pendant has a rounded top with a small hole in the center and a decorative design around it. The design features curved lines and shapes. Below the rounded top, the pendant tapers into a narrower section with a distinctive shape, resembling a bird or a stylized letter. The bottom of the pendant is forked, with two pointed ends. The pendant appears to be made of bronze or copper and has a weathered, aged appearance. The background of the image is light blue.
