Two glass plates which are 2 sections from the larger original; plates are meant to be tied together and shown in a vertical row with MOH-1983.48.01 at the top; plates show a vague, transparent cloud of rainbow colors; each holographic plate is adhered to a slightly larger clear glass plate, creating a half-inch border of glass at the top and bottom; 2 holes are drilled through the top and bottom borders, allowing the different plates to be tied together.


Please note that due to the unique challenges of holography as a medium, high-resolution digital images are not available for most items in the holography collection. Please contact us for more information on reproducing images of holograms.
