Mandarin's Necklace

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photo of a necklace. The necklace is made of small, dark beads strung together in two rows. A large bead is at each end. A clasp is in the center, with a long, thin tassel hanging down. Four shorter tassels hang down from the necklace, two on each side of the center tassel. A small ruler is in the bottom-left corner. The background is a plain surface, possibly paper or fabric. The necklace is titled "Mandarin's Necklace".
