Boa

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sculpture titled "Boa" by an unknown artist. The sculpture consists of two rows of long, thin, hair-like strands that are predominantly white and gray in color. The strands are densely packed and appear to be made of a fibrous material. The two rows are parallel to each other and are connected at one end, forming a curved shape that resembles a boomerang or a crescent. The rows are positioned horizontally across the center of the image. The background of the image is a plain off-white color.
