Mourning Pendants

William P. Shearwood

National Gallery of Art

The image shows six oval-shaped objects arranged in two rows of three. In the top row, the first object has a black and white engraved design, the middle object is shown in profile with a metallic hue, and the last object has a textured, cross-hatched black surface. In the second row, the left object mirrors the first with an intricate design, the center object is shown from the edge similar to the top center, and the rightmost object features a simple, warm-toned exterior with decorative elements. The color palette consists of sepia tones, grayscale, and muted golden hues. The objects are evenly distributed and oriented vertically, each featuring a small loop at the top.
