Fob

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a woven piece titled "Fob" by an unknown artist, featuring a green, orange, and yellow striped fabric with a metal ring at the top and a tassel-like fringe at the bottom. The fabric is made of thin strips of material woven together in a repeating pattern of green, orange, and yellow stripes. A metal ring is attached to the top of the fabric, and a larger metal ring is attached to the bottom, from which hangs a tassel-like fringe made of thin metal chains and a small key. The background is a plain off-white color.
