Moon-Shaped Pendant

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a gold pendant in the shape of a crescent moon. The pendant is made of gold and has a smooth, curved shape, resembling a crescent moon. The top of the pendant has two small loops on either side, which appear to be designed for attaching a chain. The loops are made of the same gold material as the pendant and are curled into small spirals. The pendant is positioned horizontally, with the loops at the top and the curved part of the pendant facing downwards. The background of the image is a solid gray color. The pendant is titled "Moon-Shaped Pendant" and is attributed to an artist.
