The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Ojime by this artist shows a ball-shaped object with a predominantly black base color and multiple diagonal reddish-brown stripes. The object appears to be made of wood or stone and has a smooth, shiny surface. A small loop or string protrudes from the top. The object sits on a light grey surface, with a white cord or string extending behind it to the right. The background is a plain light grey color.
