Hair Ornament with Kala Motifs
The image shows two gold hair ornaments, one large and one small, with intricate designs. The large ornament is a curved piece of gold with a pointed end on each side, resembling a crescent shape. The top of the ornament features a series of stacked, rounded shapes, with the topmost shape having a circular hole. The curved section of the ornament is decorated with swirling patterns. A thin metal rod protrudes from the bottom of the ornament, likely for display purposes. The smaller ornament is gold and rectangular in shape, with a similar design on top, featuring stacked, rounded shapes. The background of the image is a plain gray color, providing a neutral backdrop for the ornaments. The ornaments are likely made of gold and feature Kala motifs, as indicated by the title "Hair Ornament with Kala Motifs". The artist of the ornaments is not visually identifiable in the image.
