Hairpin

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two bronze hairpins with a green patina. The hairpins are laid on a flat surface. The hairpin on the left has a long, thin shaft with a tapered point and a top with a small cylinder under two side-by-side teardrop shapes that point away from the shaft. The hairpin on the right has a similar shaft but the top is a single teardrop on one side of the shaft and one on the other, both pointing away from the shaft but not directly side-by-side. The background is a flat white surface. The title of the image is "Hairpin" and the artist is unlisted.
