The Ojime by artist is a spherical object, approximately 1-2 inches in diameter, with a predominantly beige or off-white color and a smooth surface. The sphere features intricate designs and patterns etched or painted on its surface, including a central floral motif in shades of blue, gold, and silver. The sphere is threaded onto a reddish-orange cord, which appears to be made of woven or braided material. The cord is visible on either side of the sphere, with the ends extending upwards and downwards out of frame. The background of the image is a plain off-white surface, providing a neutral backdrop for the Ojime.
