Hair Ornament

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image, titled "Hair Ornament", depicts a metal hair ornament in the shape of a spider in a web. The ornament is positioned on a white background and centered in the frame. The spider has eight legs extending outwards from its body and a large spherical body made of dark-colored shiny metal. The spider sits in the center of a web made from thin dark metal wire. The web has a geometric shape resembling an umbrella with twelve sides. The thin wires of the web radiate out from the spider and are connected by thicker wires, forming triangular shapes. The background is white with a shadow visible on the left side.
