Fob

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gold-colored cord with multiple strands, looped at the top. The cord has a central section with a decorative element featuring a flower-like design with orange and red petals and white circular centers. Three white circular beads are spaced vertically on the cord above the flower-like design. Two tassels hang from the bottom, each wrapped with gold thread at the top. A circular white bead is encased in a gold ring and hangs below the tassels. The background is a plain off-white color. The object is titled "Fob" by an unknown artist.
