Hair Ornament

Charles Rose

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornate tassel design. The image features a decorative item with two main symmetrical elements connected by a curved red band resembling a cord or string. Each side has elaborate red loops that form a circular pattern around a central part, which features a dark butterfly-like motif. Suspended from these main parts are clusters of black, fuzzy balls or pom-poms, hanging down in rows.
