Hanging gong
The image shows a white jade carving titled "Hanging gong" by an unknown artist. The carving is an elongated oval with a wavy edge. The carving depicts two figures in high relief on the left and right. The figure on the left has one arm raised and the figure on the right has both arms raised. The figures appear to hold an object between them. The object has a rounded top and a straight vertical line down the center. The carving has many holes of various shapes and sizes throughout. The background of the image is black. A small white label at the bottom right reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM". A small black number "432" is printed on the bottom center of the carving.
