Ornament

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white illustration of an ornate object. The title of the object is "Ornament". The object is symmetrical, teardrop-shaped, and pointed at the top. The object has a raised ridge down the center with a leaf-like shape at the top. There are two curved, wavy lines on either side of the ridge that resemble snakes or tendrils. The lines are decorated with small circles and dots. The object has a rough texture, with visible cracks and lines on its surface. The background of the image is light gray. The illustration style suggests it may be an ancient or historical object, likely created by an unknown artist.
