Torque

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a gold-colored Torque by artist S. The necklace is a circular shape, open at the top. Two small decorative swirls are at the top, one on each side. A thin black string hangs from each swirl. A small black heart-shaped object is attached to the end of each string. The background appears to be a textured surface, possibly a wall or display case, with a light brown color. A shadow is cast by the necklace onto the surface below it.
