Hair jewelry

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The necklace "Hair jewelry" by the artist is three long, thin, interlocked metal chains that are silver in color. The chains are laid out in a slightly wavy pattern on a flat surface. The top chain is slightly shorter than the other two and positioned on top. All three chains are made of small, round links. They originate from a small metal piece on the left, possibly a clasp. The background is a plain off-white color.
