Ear Clip

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pair of bronze-colored metal ear clips, titled "Ear Clip" by an unknown artist. The clips are shaped like leaves with a ribbed texture. The clips have a bronze color with a darker patina. The leaf shapes have pointed tips and are curled into a cylindrical form. Each clip has a small metal loop attached to the top. The background is a solid gray color. The clips are placed on a flat surface, with one in front of the other. The front clip is angled to the left, and the back clip is angled to the right. The image is well-lit, with a slight shadow under each clip. The overall appearance is that of a product or museum object photograph.
