Large Pendant in the Form of a Wheel

Daniel Mignot

National Gallery of Art

The image contains a central circular motif surrounded by various intricate patterns and ornaments, displaying a symmetrical composition. Abstract curling and swirling lines create an ornate frame around a star-like form in the center. Rectangular shapes placed at intervals mimic gemstones, while the overall symmetry and embellishments bring to mind an intricate piece of jewelry or an elaborate brooch. Curved ribbons extend outward from the center, accompanied by pendant-like drops resembling teardrop jewels, adding complexity to the design.
