Small Hanging

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Vertical hanging object with a thin string at the top. The object consists of multiple sections. The top section has a small black tassel. Below it is a metal piece with a decorative design, followed by a longer black tassel. A metal piece with a geometric pattern comes next, then another black tassel. Below that is a metal piece with a design, and finally, a long gray tassel at the bottom. The title is "Small Hanging" and the artist is not specified but presumably associated with this object is Agnes Martin.
