The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a pendant. The pendant consists of two elongated teardrop shaped pieces of metal. The metal pieces are white with a pattern on them. The pattern is black and appears to be plants on the left piece and cracking earth on the right piece. Both pieces have dark circles in them. The two pieces are attached at the top by a small metal ring. The ring is attached to a braided cord. The braided cord has a sphere bead above the pendant. The background is black.
