Lighter (Mecha) for Flint

Josephine C. Romano

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a rope-like object with intertwined strands of purple color, made of fabric, along with pom-poms in alternating pink and mint green shades. The color palette includes deep purple, soft pink, mint green, orange, and dark brown. The large rope is positioned across the top portion of the image, trailing downwards on the left side, where it is interwoven with a textured orange section with a small gold chain and cone-shaped end. The pom-poms are dangling on the right side, connected by a braided cord and are distributed along the lower part of the composition.
