Curb Bit

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a metal curb bit titled "Curb Bit" by an unknown artist. The curb bit is made of metal and appears to be old. The bit has two side pieces that curve around to form a mouthpiece. The side pieces are connected by a metal chain underneath. Each side piece has a ring at the end, and there are also two rings at the top of the bit, one on each side. The bit is decorated with intricate designs etched into the metal. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The curb bit casts a shadow on the surface below it.
