Ojime

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Ojime by Artist is a small, spherical object made of dark metal, likely bronze or brass, with a white cord threaded through a small opening at the top. The object has a diameter of approximately 1-2 inches. The top half of the sphere features a series of small circular indentations and a gold-colored floral pattern. A decorative band encircles the middle of the sphere, comprising a rope-like design and a series of interconnected loops. The object rests on a light gray surface, with a white cord extending behind it to the right. The background is a plain light gray color.
