The Metropolitan Museum of Art Four Seasons Paisley Square Wool Scarf
132.95 USD
An art scarf inspired by The Met collection. In the early 19th century, luxurious shawls from Kashmir became indispensable fashion accessories for the stylish European woman.

Paisley, which is derived from the boteh design, gets its name from the Scottish town that produced many of these shawls until they fell out of favor in the 1870s.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Spanish Day and Night Magnifier Pendant Necklace and Moon Drop Earrings Set
167.95 USD
Art jewelry inspired by The Met collection. These celestial motifs celebrate a type of print called a broadside depicting 48 allegorical figures pertaining to the sun and the moon.
