On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 957

This chandelier has two series of eight S-shaped branches protruding from grotesque snakes’ (or dolphins’) heads around a baluster shaft resting on a massive globe. The branches and shaft have been correspondingly numbered from one to eight, with the exception of number three, indicated by three small bars, and number five, denoted by a crescent moon or the letter C.
