The image depicts a bronze or metal artifact with a distinctive globular shape and a central stem or stem-like feature. The surface of the object appears to be heavily corroded, with a green, weathered patina that gives it an antique appearance. The overall form of the object suggests it may be an ancient decorative or ceremonial object, possibly a type of finial or architectural element. Without any identifying features or context, I cannot provide any more specific details about the nature or origin of this artifact.

The image shows an ancient bronze ornament or finial in the shape of a hollow, openwork sphere. The sphere appears to be made up of intertwining, rope-like strands forming a lattice or cage-like structure. The surface has a mottled green patina, indicating it is made of bronze that has developed an aged patina over time. The ornament sits on a small pedestal base that is part of the same cast bronze piece. Based on the style and patina, this appears to be an artifact from an ancient culture, likely serving as a decorative architectural element or ceremonial object.

This appears to be an ancient bronze or copper artifact that has developed a green patina over time. It's shaped like a spherical cage or openwork globe mounted on a pedestal base. The sphere is made up of several curved, twisted or rope-like bands that create a hollow ball shape. The bands have a decorative spiral or twisted pattern along their length. The object shows signs of age with its verdigris coloring (the green oxidation typical of aged copper and bronze) and surface corrosion. The base has a circular foot and a short stem that supports the openwork sphere. This type of object might have been used as a decorative finial or ornamental piece, possibly from ancient Roman or Greek times.
