This image depicts an object that appears to be a shield. The shield has a circular shape with a flattened edge. It consists of a blackened central area which may either be a result of the material used or could be painted or treated to have this dark appearance. Surrounding this central area is a concentric circle that seems to be made of a lighter, wood-like material displaying a striped or grained pattern, which could suggest it is constructed from planks, reeds or another type of woodcrafted into a radiating design.

There is a red alphanumeric code, "1937.177C," written along the top arc of the shield, suggesting that this item may belong to a collection or inventory and was cataloged in the year 1937. The center of the shield features a horizontal split or division where two opposite sides of the shield material converge and are bound together by a twisted natural fiber rope or cord. This cord is knotted in the middle, with the ends frayed and protruding along the axis of the split.

Overall, the shield radiates a sense of age and utilitarian function, and the design elements could offer clues about the cultural context from which it originates. The wear and presentation of the shield imply it could be an artifact of historical or cultural significance, potentially displayed or stored in a museum or similar institution.

This image shows a circular object with what appears to be a textured black surface. The edges are surrounded by a material that resembles animal hide or a similar organic material, wrapped in a way that covers part of the surface and meets at the center, where a white cord or string is knotted. A red alphanumeric code, "1937.177C," is written at the top part of the object. The wrapping and materials suggest it could be an old artifact, possibly a type of shield, drum, or another traditional object.

This appears to be a circular object, likely a drum or similar musical instrument, with a black surface surrounded by a wooden rim or band. At the top of the image, there's a number written in red that reads "1937.177C", which is probably a catalog or inventory number. Across the middle of the black surface, there's a horizontal band or strip made of what looks like twisted or braided natural material, possibly wood or fiber, and there appears to be some kind of small decorative element or fastener in the center of this band. The overall composition is simple and symmetrical, with the dark surface providing a stark contrast to the lighter wooden framing elements.

The image shows a circular object with a wooden frame. The center of the object is covered in a dark, textured material, possibly black fabric or leather. Embroidered on the dark material in red letters is the date "1937.177C". A small white flower or decorative element is attached to the center of the object using a string or ribbon.

Here is a description of the image:

The image is a close-up, top-down shot of a round object, possibly a tea cake or similar food item. It has a dark, black surface that appears to be the core of the object. Surrounding the black core is a tightly woven, octagonal border made of light brown, fibrous material. A twisted, rope-like band, probably made of natural fibers, is wrapped around the object horizontally, tying it together. The band is tied at the center with a white string or cord, with a small, wooden piece at its center. The number "1937.177c" is written in red at the top of the black surface. The background is a neutral, light grey, providing a clean and simple backdrop that draws attention to the object itself.

Here's a description of the image:

The image shows a round, black object wrapped in straw-like material. The black surface appears to have a slightly textured or woven look. A single strand of the straw-like material is wrapped around the center of the object, and at the point where the ends meet, there is a small, off-white knot tied, along with a small, brown piece of what looks like cork. The straw-like material has a brown and tan pattern that suggests it might be made of dried plant fibers. At the top, there is a red inscription "1937.177c". The background appears to be a plain, light gray. The overall impression is that of a bundled or packaged artifact.
