Ornament

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Ornament by Anon. A dark metal object with a textured surface, featuring a bird-like figure with a long neck and tail. The object has a rough, irregular shape with protrusions and indentations. The bird's head extends to the left, with a small beak and two holes for eyes. The body is covered in a scale-like pattern, and the tail feathers are depicted in a ruffled, layered style. The object appears to be made of a dark, weathered metal, possibly bronze or iron, with a rough, aged appearance.
