Hair Ornament

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Hair Ornament by Klee is a long, thin object on a black stand. The object is made of metal and has a dark green patina. It has a round top with a smaller round shape in the center. The top round shape is surrounded by curved designs resembling leaves or petals. Two long, thin prongs extend down from the round top. The prongs are attached to the black stand, which is square-shaped. The background is white with a shadow cast by the object.
