Body Ornament

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a "Body Ornament" by an unknown artist. The object is long and narrow, comprising six circular pieces stacked vertically. The pieces are made of a light-brown material, likely clay or ceramic, with a rough texture and visible signs of wear. Each piece has a circular hole in the center. The top and bottom pieces are larger and smaller respectively, with the middle four being similarly sized. The background of the image is a solid dark gray color.
