Halo

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Halo by artist unknown, features an old, weathered, light-brown or grayish-brown sculpture. The sculpture is arch-shaped and made of stone or metal. It has a large central archway with a rounded top and straight sides. The archway is adorned with intricate carvings and designs, including a row of pointed shapes along its top edge. The bottom of the archway features a decorative design with curved lines. Two small, detailed carvings are on either side. The background of the image is a plain beige or light-brown color. The sculpture appears to be mounted on a wall or displayed on a flat surface. A thin metal piece spans across the bottom section. The overall appearance suggests age and wear.
